Скачать или смотреть How to choose your Research Question for your IBDP Extended essay with Aneri Shah

Starting your Extended Essay is a big challenge and most students find it very hard to come up with an appropriate research question. However, a good research question means 25% of your battle is already won. Your supervisor can help you with this, but often they'll leave it to you. And you’ll want to be very careful here. With the right question almost anything is possible. But With the wrong question, you're setting yourself up to fail.

Most students brainstorm possible ideas, ask for suggestions and read successful EE samples (which are often available in your high school library). But I want to help you to do better than the average student.

There is a 4 point test which will help you make sure your RQ is top notch. A good research question needs to pass all the 4 tests.

The 4 questions are:

1. Is it the right scope?
2. Identity which cost concepts or tools you will use
3. Check if you will have the information
4. Check if your topic will help you
