Chapter 3 - Thinking Ahead I (Internal Assessment)
Unlocking IB Success How The Internal Assessment Differs

Hey there, future literary scholars! Ready to dive into the concept of Internal Assessment (IA) in our beloved course, IBDP English A Language and Literature? Picture this, IA isn't just a test, but a movie where you're the main character, showing off your language and literature skills. Let's do this!
Introduction to internal assessment (IA)
Imagine IA as your own personal literary coach. Just like how Cristiano Ronaldo needs a coach to sharpen his skills, you need the IA to ace your course. Remember, IA makes up a big chunk of your IB grade, 30% for standard level and 20% for the higher level. So, you'll want to bring your A-game!
Summative vs. formative assessments
IA works as both a summative and formative assessment. Confused between these two fancy terms? Don't sweat it!
Summative assessment is like the halftime report in a basketball game, tallying the points you've scored in the exam (yes, it's important!). On the other hand, formative assessment is the game's play-by-play commentary that helps you improve throughout the course (even more important!).
