🧩 1. Start with a Focused Research Question
Avoid broad or vague phrasing. ✅ Example: "How does caffeine affect plant growth?" → too vague ✅ Better: "To what extent does caffeine concentration affect root length inPhaseolus vulgaris?"
📊 2. Link Back to the Syllabus
Examiners love clear connections to the subject's key concepts. Drop one or two specific syllabus terms naturally in your introduction and analysis.
🧠 3. Explain, Don't Describe
IB rewardsanalysis. Instead of saying*"the trend increases,"say"the rate of increase suggests a proportional relationship between variables."*
💬 4. Reflect in Your Conclusion
Include evaluation: What worked, what didn't, and how you'd improve the method. This shows maturity of thought — a core IB criterion.
