IB Personal Project (MYP) External Assessment Exemplar

Photographic integration of the interview context demonstrates effective visual communication and adds authenticity to the product.

Self-management ATL skills are well-illustrated through clear deadline setting and allocation of study hours, supporting timely progress.

Communication ATL is applied effectively, evidenced by the detailed interview with Francisco Gimeno and the quality of information gathered.

Thinking ATL descriptions lack concrete evidence of impact; examples of evaluating and refining strategies are needed.

Research ATL skill usage is generic; the student should cite specific sources (journals, websites) and explain how findings shaped magazine content.

When discussing thinking ATL in product creation, a precise example of how a planning decision improved structure or flow is absent.

Milestone table effectively organizes tasks and dates, providing a clear roadmap for the project timeline.

Vivid personal narrative links karting interest to the learning goal, enhancing the rationale and demonstrating genuine engagement.

Intended product (karting magazine) is clearly described and aligns coherently with stated objectives.

Initial tasks and necessary resources are identified clearly, laying a solid foundation for further planning.

Resource allocations and task dependencies are missing from the milestone table, reducing feasibility analysis.

Plan overview under Aspecto iii is incomplete and cuts off, leaving key phases and deadlines undefined.

Editing and design steps are described but not sequenced with specific dates, weakening timeline clarity.

Success criteria are broad and lack measurable targets; benchmarks for interviews, images, and page count need specification.

Design-visual criterion is thorough but lacks objective benchmarks (e.g., template standards, readability scores) for assessing visual appeal.

Articulates significant conceptual growth in understanding Rotax engines and the global karting context, showing depth of learning impact.

Personal reflection connects emotional inspiration from pilots’ stories to growth in decision-making skills, adding depth to self-impact analysis.

Recognizes the need for concrete race strategy examples and proposes integrating telemetry data or driver quotes, demonstrating critical insight.

Revisits the original objective and confirms achievement, reflecting on deliverables and overall success.

Reflection on project constraints (limited interviews) lacks discussion of mitigation strategies such as additional participants or virtual formats.

Summary reiterates project value without offering new insights or linking outcomes to future learning goals or career plans.

Product evaluation remains too general; each success criterion needs to be explicitly aligned with specific evidence (e.g., interview count, photo quality, page length).

Technical reflection notes a need for deeper detail but fails to outline precise next steps or topics (e.g., engine tuning parameters, telemetry analysis methods).
