Assessment and Grading

Assessment in the MYP
 
All the work of MYP students is internally assessed by teachers. Internal assessment of student work must be carried out using a criterion-related approach. It will play a major role in students’ development and preparation for final assessment.
Subject group guides include information on assessment according to the subject group objectives and the use of the corresponding assessment criteria.
 As the MYP school we use the published assessment criteria and achievement level descriptors when assessing student work in the final year of the programme.
 
Final grading in the Middle Years Programme follows the grading system based on the IB 1 to 7 scale. A grade ranging from 1 to 3 is considered a failing grade in any of the subjects.

Final grade Descriptor

  1. Minimal achievement in terms of the objectives.
  2. Very limited achievement against all the objectives. The student has difficulty in understanding the required knowledge and skills and is unable to apply them fully in normal situations, even with support.
  3. Limited achievement against most of the objectives, or clear difficulties in some areas. The student demonstrates a limited understanding of the required knowledge and skills and is only able to apply them fully in normal situations with support.
  4. A good general understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them effectively in normal situations. There is occasional evidence of the skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
  5. A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in a variety of situations. The student generally shows evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation where appropriate and occasionally demonstrates originality and insight.
  6. A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in a wide variety of situations. Consistent evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation is shown where appropriate. The student generally demonstrates originality and insight.
  7. A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them almost faultlessly in a wide variety of situations. Consistent evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation is shown where appropriate. The student consistently demonstrates originality and insight and always produces work of high quality.
