What Is the EE? Why Is It Important?
The Extended Essay is a 4,000-word independent research project completed in one IB subject.
It develops university-level research, writing, and critical thinking skills.
The EE matters because:
-
It contributes to up to 3 core points with TOK
-
It demonstrates academic discipline for university applications
-
It builds deep subject understanding
A strong EE grade can significantly boost a student’s final IB Diploma score, making it one of the most influential components of the core. With expert guidance, students learn how to choose academic, researchable topics, use credible scholarly sources, and build clear, well-structured arguments. They also develop the ability to integrate evidence effectively and avoid the common errors that lower marks, such as weak analysis, poor referencing, or drifting away from the research question.
