Fictional practice example - illustrative guidance, not a predicted mark

Make a research question more focused

How has a local transport policy affected consumer choices in a defined area and period?

  • Specify the policy, location and period.
  • Identify accessible evidence before committing.
  • Explain which economic concepts your investigation will apply.

How it works

  1. Explore a research question, draft or reflection.
  2. Read the structured feedback alongside your evidence.
  3. Improve your work with your supervisor’s guidance.

From a focused question to a clearer economic argument

The Extended Essays area supports research question selection, essay draft improvement, and Reflection on Planning and Progress Form writing.

Students can examine whether a question is focused, feasible and economic before committing to it, including whether the evidence they need is accessible.

Draft feedback helps identify areas to revisit in the argument, evidence and presentation. Reflection feedback helps students review how they explain their own research decisions and progress.

Discuss the feedback with your supervisor and follow the requirements for your assessment session. AI suggestions and indicative marks are guidance, not an official IB assessment.

  • Test research questions for focus, feasibility, and economic relevance
  • Review economic reasoning, evidence and draft structure
  • Improve reflections with more targeted guidance
