IB Personal Project (MYP) External Assessment Exemplar

You effectively describe how you applied communication skills through sharing ideas and conducting interviews, directly linking ATL development to your learning goal.

The interview results figure provides concrete evidence of stakeholder input and shows how feedback informed your design decisions.

The inclusion of a final product photo offers clear, tangible proof of your design skills and illustrates the outcome of your iterative development process.

The section on Creative Thinking skills outlines your ideation but lacks a concrete example of how you generated and evaluated design alternatives; including a specific brainstorming instance would strengthen this evidence.

Your personal narrative vividly establishes motivation and interest, demonstrating a convincing connection to your learning goal and personal experience.

The SMART goal diagram is comprehensive, breaking down the product objective into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound criteria, which enhances feasibility and clarity.

A detailed timeline for long- and short-term goals, complete with dates and associated skills, shows excellent sequencing and a clear pathway to the product outcomes.

The inclusion of detailed evaluation descriptors across multiple dimensions (durability, tactile quality, pricing, eco-friendliness) reflects thorough planning and well-defined criteria.

Integration of SDG 4: Quality Education and alignment with the ‘Fairness and Development’ global context add depth and relevance to your planning rationale.

Evaluation criteria are thorough but lack explicit linkage to specific project milestones and resources, which would improve coherence and monitoring.

Success criteria would benefit from more precise, measurable indicators (for example, specifying a target proficiency level in Braille by a given date).

There is no clear sequencing or timeline for meeting each evaluation criterion; adding a development timeline would strengthen feasibility.

Your action plan lists research steps but omits dates for each task; incorporating specific timelines will allow for more precise progress tracking.

The plan does not explicitly connect each action step to its corresponding success criterion, which would improve clarity and alignment.

The product comparison table is detailed but would be more informative with actual images or sketches to contextualize distinctions.

Your systematic evaluation of the product against success criteria—using audience, expert, and self-evaluations—provides clear, multi-perspective evidence and supports a thorough assessment.

The safety compliance evaluation is exceptional, incorporating a certified test report and expert confirmation to fully substantiate your product’s standards.

Your reflection on personal growth and insight into the visually impaired experience demonstrates deep self-awareness and satisfies the requirements for Strand C1.

The ‘New Learnings’ section lists valuable skills acquired but does not link each learning to how it will influence your next steps; articulating these connections would enhance the reflective evaluation.
