If you've ever opened your laptop to "start revising" and somehow ended up reorganizing folders from Year 7, you already understand the real problem.
It's not motivation.
It's momentum.
With MYP eAssessments, momentum matters because the format rewards students who can think clearly under time pressure, navigate digital questions smoothly, and apply concepts in unfamiliar contexts. The best part is that you don't need a perfect life to prepare. You need a MYP plan that makes progress inevitable for 30 days.
This guide gives you that plan: what to do each week, what to do each day, and how to use RevisionDojo tools (Questionbank, Study Notes, Flashcards, AI Chat, Grading tools, Predicted Papers, Mock Exams, Coursework Library, Tutors) to make MYP prep feel structured instead of stressful.
The 30-day MYP eAssessments checklist (keep it simple)
Before the schedule, here's the checklist that keeps MYP revision grounded:
- Know which MYP subjects you're assessed in (on-screen exams vs ePortfolios)
- Learn the command terms and what they really demand
- Build a topic map of weak, medium, strong areas
- Practice every week under timed conditions (not just "study")
- Review mistakes with criteria language (not vibes)
- Train digital exam habits: typing speed, annotation tools, pacing, scanning sources
- Finish with 2 full exam simulations and a calm taper

Why MYP eAssessments feel harder (and how to make them easier)
In MYP, the exam isn't asking, "Do you remember this?"
It's quietly asking, "Can you use this?"
That's why students who revise by rereading notes can feel blindsided, while students who practice questions early start to feel strangely calm. Practice turns uncertainty into pattern-recognition.
On RevisionDojo, that practice-first loop is built into the platform: start from the MYP hub, then drill targeted questions, then get feedback, then repeat. When you do that for 30 days, the exam stops feeling like a surprise.
Your MYP 30-day plan (week by week)
Week 1 (Days 1--7): Build the MYP map and stop guessing
Week 1 is about clarity. In MYP, clarity beats intensity.
Goals for Week 1
- Build a topic list for each subject
- Identify 3 weak units per subject (not 12)
- Learn the command terms and criteria expectations
- Start daily question practice immediately
Daily structure (60--90 minutes per subject block)
- 10 min: skim the relevant section in Study Notes
- 25 min: Questionbank practice (untimed, focused)
- 15 min: review mistakes and write "error rules" (what you will do next time)
- 10 min: Flashcards (active recall only)
Use RevisionDojo's Study Notes and Flashcards as your "foundation," but let questions drive your study.
Helpful starting points:
And for daily drilling, open the tool you'll live in for the next month: RevisionDojo Questionbank.
Week 2 (Days 8--14): Turn MYP content into MYP performance
Week 2 is where MYP starts to "click," because you stop collecting information and start producing answers.
Goals for Week 2
- Increase question volume slightly
- Start mixed-topic practice (the real exam won't stay in one chapter)
- Begin timed mini-sets 3x this week
Daily structure (per subject block)
- 10 min: Flashcards warm-up (spaced repetition)
- 30 min: Questionbank (mixed difficulty)
- 20 min: review + rewrite 1 answer for quality
- 10 min: ask AI Chat to quiz you on misconceptions
This is where AI Chat shines. Don't ask it for "notes." Ask it to identify what your answer is missing and to explain command-term expectations.
If you want a deeper workflow for question practice, this is useful even though it's written for IB: the logic is the same for MYP practice sets and review loops. Read: Jojo AI Question Bank: Unlimited Practice Questions.
Week 3 (Days 15--21): Train like it's MYP exam week
Week 3 is where students usually feel the emotional wobble. You've done enough work to see what you don't know, and that can feel discouraging.
But it's actually the moment you become accurate.
Goals for Week 3
- 2 timed sessions per subject this week
- One "exam-mode" session where you don't pause, look up, or restart
- Tight feedback loops: every mistake becomes a rule
Use Exam Mode for timed conditions and mark breakdowns. It builds the mental muscle that MYP eAssessments reward: staying calm while the clock keeps moving.
A simple rule for Week 3
If you do a timed set, you must review it.
Review is where your score changes. The timed set just reveals what needs changing.
Week 4 (Days 22--30): Peak, polish, and taper the MYP way
The last 9 days are not for panic-learning. They're for consistency.
Goals for the final stretch
- 2 full simulations (or closest your school format allows)
- Fix your top 10 repeat mistakes
- Reduce workload slightly in the last 48 hours
Suggested breakdown
- Days 22--25: full mixed-topic practice + targeted weak topics
- Days 26--27: simulation 1 + deep review
- Days 28--29: simulation 2 + light revision
- Day 30: short recall + early night
If you have written components or portfolio-style work, use RevisionDojo's Grading tools for fast rubric-aligned feedback, and the Coursework Library to see what strong work looks like. If you're stuck or need accountability, book a session with Tutors to stress-test your plan and patch gaps quickly.

The MYP daily template (print this)
Use this daily template for MYP revision. It's boring on purpose. Boring is repeatable.
For content-heavy subjects (Sciences, Individuals and Societies)
- 5 min: pick one micro-goal ("data analysis questions")
- 25 min: Questionbank set
- 20 min: review + error log
- 10 min: Flashcards
- 10 min: AI Chat: "quiz me using command terms"
For Mathematics
- 5 min: formulas + quick recall
- 30 min: mixed-topic set (include unfamiliar contexts)
- 20 min: correct with written working (show your logic)
- 10 min: redo the 2 hardest questions cleanly
For languages
- 15 min: targeted skills (structure, text types, comprehension)
- 25 min: timed writing or reading response
- 20 min: criteria-based improvement (what would make this a higher band?)
- 10 min: Flashcards for high-utility vocabulary
Common MYP mistakes that cost marks (and how to fix them)
Writing what you know instead of answering the command term
In MYP, "describe" and "evaluate" are not just different lengths. They are different jobs. Train yourself to underline the command term and write a one-line plan before you answer.
Treating practice like a performance
If you only do questions you're confident in, you're practicing comfort, not skill. The fastest improvement comes from questions that you get slightly wrong, then fix.
Doing timed practice too late
Time pressure is a skill. If you wait until the last week, your brain treats the timer as a threat. If you start in Week 2, the timer becomes normal.

FAQ
How many hours a day should I study for MYP eAssessments in 30 days?
Most students do best with 2--4 focused hours on school days and a longer block on weekends, but the real variable is quality, not quantity. For MYP eAssessments, you need a daily rhythm that includes practice questions, review, and timed work. If you only read notes, you can study for many hours and still feel unprepared because you haven't trained application. If you only do questions without review, you repeat the same mistakes and call it "practice." A good rule is that for every 30 minutes of questions, you spend 15--20 minutes reviewing with criteria language and rewriting one answer. Over 30 days, that steady loop outperforms cramming almost every time.
What should I prioritize first when my MYP exams are close and I feel behind?
Prioritize the highest-leverage skills: command terms, criteria alignment, and timed application. In MYP, it's common to know content but lose marks through vague explanations, missing justification, or weak structure. Start with one subject and identify your top three weak topics, then drill those using the RevisionDojo Questionbank so you can see patterns quickly. Next, add 2--3 timed mini-sets per week using Exam Mode so pacing becomes familiar rather than scary. Use AI Chat to interrogate misconceptions, especially when you keep missing the same style of question. When you feel behind, narrowing your scope is not avoidance; it's strategy.
How do I prepare for the digital format of MYP eAssessments?
Preparing for MYP eAssessments means preparing for the screen, not just the syllabus. Digital exams test your ability to read sources efficiently, manage time without paper cues, and type structured responses clearly. Train by doing timed practice on a device similar to what you'll use on exam day, and get used to scrolling, highlighting, and checking your work quickly. Build a habit of writing short outlines before longer answers, because on-screen writing can drift without structure. Use practice sessions to experiment with pacing: decide how long you'll spend per mark and learn when to move on. Finally, review your responses for clarity and organization, because the digital format can hide messy thinking until it's too late. Over 30 days, those small habits add up to calm confidence.
Closing: your MYP plan is a promise to your future self
Thirty days from now, you won't remember every study session.
You'll remember the feeling you walk into the exam with.
A MYP eAssessments plan isn't about heroic motivation. It's about making the next action obvious: one practice set, one review, one improvement rule, then repeat. If you want that loop in one place--with Questionbank practice, Study Notes, Flashcards, AI Chat support, Exam Mode timing, Mock Exams, Predicted Papers, Grading tools, a Coursework Library, and Tutors when you need a real human to steady the ship--start in the RevisionDojo MYP hub.
Do Day 1. Then let the next 29 days take care of themselves. That's MYP preparation that actually works.
