Registering for MYP Physics eAssessment is handled by your school, not by students or families. The school’s MYP coordinator enters eligible students through IBIS, confirming the subject, examination session, and response language.
Ask the coordinator whether your school offers Physics in the relevant May or November session. School forms, fees, and internal deadlines vary and may be earlier than the IB deadline.
Who can register for MYP Physics eAssessment?
MYP eAssessment is intended for students in MYP year 5, the programme’s final year. Registration must take place through an IB World School authorized to offer the MYP. Students cannot create an IBIS account or submit independent entries.
Physics is a two-hour on-screen examination, not an ePortfolio. The IB currently lists it in English and French, with examinations offered in May and November.
A student may take Physics as an individual subject and receive an MYP course result without completing every requirement for the full MYP certificate. Schools decide which optional eAssessments they offer and which candidates they enter.
How registration works
Schools may add approval, payment, or subject-selection stages, but the usual process is:
- Check availability. Not every MYP school offers every optional assessment.
- Confirm eligibility and session. The coordinator verifies your year group and examination session.
- Check personal details. Review your legal name, date of birth, and candidate information.
- Confirm subject and language. Ensure the entry says Physics, not Integrated Sciences, and records English or French correctly.
- Discuss access requirements. Report any need for extra time, breaks, assistive technology, or another arrangement.
- Request confirmation. Check that registration is complete and ask about the date, location, and device.
The published deadline is 20 October for the following May session and 20 April for the following November session. These are school submission deadlines. Schools commonly set earlier dates to collect charges, verify information, and correct errors.
| Intended session | Published IB deadline | Examination period |
|---|---|---|
| May | 20 October | Two-week period in May |
| November | 20 April | Two-week period in November |
Check the official IB MYP eAssessment registration page for current procedures.
Access arrangements
Inclusive access arrangements cannot normally be requested informally on examination day. The coordinator must submit applicable requests through IBIS six months before the examination session. Some adaptations for vision or hearing impairments may require one year’s notice.
Raise any need early. Arrangements should usually reflect support used during lessons and school assessments, and evidence may be required. They remove barriers without changing the knowledge or skills assessed.
What happens after registration?
Registration is only the administrative entry. The school must prepare candidate devices, secure software, the examination room, invigilation, and response submission.
The IB’s technical preparation guidance specifies a reliable laptop or desktop, keyboard, scroll-wheel mouse, and headphones. Schools use an IB compatibility checker before installing the examination software. Internet access is required to download packages, but students do not need a continuous connection while completing the locally installed assessment.
Before the session, confirm:
- the examination date, arrival time, and location
- whether the school supplies the device
- whether you need headphones, a charger, or identification
- which materials are permitted
- that access arrangements are recorded
- whom to contact about illness or adverse circumstances
Use the schedule supplied by your coordinator rather than relying on an old online timetable.
Exam-day expectations
The Physics examination may include data, animations, simulations, graphing tools, and an on-screen calculator. Preparation should therefore include computer-based calculation, graphing, data interpretation, and written explanations.
Follow the invigilator’s instructions. If the device freezes or another technical problem occurs, report it immediately. Do not restart the computer, attempt repairs, or leave without permission.
Once registered, use the RevisionDojo MYP Physics hub to organize revision by topic. The MYP Physics Questionbank supports targeted practice, while the MYP Physics learning resources help strengthen understanding before timed work.
Common mistakes
Completing a school form does not guarantee that the IB entry has been submitted. Ask for confirmation, especially after changing subjects or response language.
Other mistakes include confusing Physics with Integrated Sciences, missing an internal deadline, delaying an access request, or using a device that has not passed the compatibility check. Registration and preparation are separate processes.
The 30-day MYP eAssessment study plan combines review with timed digital practice. The guide to succeeding in MYP eAssessments explains command terms, navigation, timing, and checking answers.
Conclusion
Students cannot register themselves for MYP Physics eAssessment. An authorized school’s coordinator must enter an eligible MYP year 5 student through IBIS and confirm the session, subject, language, and access arrangements.
Contact your coordinator early and follow the school timetable. After registration, RevisionDojo’s MYP Physics Study Notes, Questionbank, Flashcards, and Jojo AI can support focused preparation.
