The 4,000-word Extended Essay is one of the most challenging IB components. Examiner guidance from topic selection to final submission.
A 4,000-word independent research paper — one of the most challenging parts of the IB. Examiner guidance makes all the difference.
Choose a research question that is narrow enough for depth but broad enough for 4,000 words. Examiner-approved topic suggestions for your subject.
Guidance on finding credible sources, building a literature review, and structuring your research methodology.
Chapter-by-chapter guidance on introduction, methodology, analysis, discussion, and conclusion. Examiner feedback on every draft.
Proper academic formatting, consistent citation style (APA/MLA/Chicago), and final proofreading before submission.
Guidance on the three required reflections. Learn what examiners look for in each reflection entry.
Prepare for your final EE interview. Practice defending your research with an examiner.
We support EE across all major subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Economics, Geography, English, Chinese, and more. Each EE is guided by a subject-specific examiner.
Ideally, start exploring topics in the second half of DP1 and have a solid research question by the summer break. The summer between DP1 and DP2 is the best time to write your first draft.
Most students benefit from 9 sessions (Kickstart package) covering the full EE journey. If you already have a draft, 4 sessions may be enough for polishing.
