Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Extended Essay (EE) hard?
It's more manageable than it looks. You need to get the basics right early, so start by developing a focused research question. Choose a subject you're really interested in, narrow your research question before you start writing, and take your supervisor meetings seriously. Most students find the EE becomes manageable once the question is right. The writing follows from there.
How do you write a good TOK essay?
A strong TOK essay takes a position, argues it using examples drawn from different areas of knowledge, and engages seriously with counterarguments. Every paragraph should push your central claim against a different perspective or area of knowledge. And, plan your argument before writing a word - in TOK, structure is everything.
