Extended Essays

Research question, draft, and reflection support for the IB Economics Extended Essay

Strengthen the three key stages of the EE process with clearer structure and more targeted feedback.

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.

What you'll find here

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

Students can test whether a question is focused, feasible, and genuinely economic before they commit to it.

They can also upload a draft for criterion-based feedback and predicted marks, then improve the reflection with more targeted guidance.

  • Test research questions for focus, feasibility, and economic relevance
  • Receive criterion-based draft feedback aligned with the 2027 syllabus
  • Improve reflections with more targeted guidance
