  requirements of the IB Diploma Program. It is
  written on a topic, that student is interested
  in. The main point is to make a research on the
  topic. A student must have a subject supervisor,
  so topic has to be written in the limits of the
  subject.

Getting Started

• Firstly, find a topic you are really interested
  in. No need to find trendy topics.
• Don't stress. 4,000 words of extended essay is
  nothing after your research. You will find much
  more information, like 5,000 8,000 words as
  your first draft.
• Dont look at the quantity of words that this
  task requires. Go to the point of the essay.  
• Remember to focus on specific topic instead of a
  general subject area.

Choose a Subject Area

• Be sure to write about a topic you are really
  interested in. Otherwise, you wont have leaning
  to the subject. If you know that you like
  physics, go for it. Find exactly what you are
  interested in, or always wanted to know more and
  make an investigation as one of your extended
  essay ideas.
• Dont forget to include methods, materials and
  observations as they all are part of the word
  count. Furthermore, show the committee that you
  know what you were doing with your extended essay.

Read a general academic article

• Read academic articles of the chosen area and get
  the main point.
• Conclusion of the reading an article must contain
  possible themes of your topic.
• Get more information about the particular parts
  of the subject you are writing about.
• Dont even think to use materials from IB
  assessments that you have mentioned in your
  subject.

6
Formulate a temporary thesis and outline

• Dont rewrite facts or opinions you have read in
  other subject papers.
• The point is to find possible answers and
  hypotheses.
• Create such temporary thesis that will suggest
  the points of your outline. It is the way your
  reader will follow your paper through to the
  conclusion.
• Dont forget to use IB extended essay title page
  format.

7
Write the rough draft

• Be sure that your thesis is 100 specific to the
  subject.
• Write and check the outline, in which every topic
  is relevant to the thesis.
• Try not to start from the introduction. Collect
  and write the overall information.
• Dont forget to include evidence, reflection,
  arguments, counter arguments, and interpretation.
  
• Introduce relevant details and evidence to the
  thesis.

Revise the draft

• Remember that the essay must have maximum 4,000
  words and minimum 3,700. The main think inside is
  quality of the paper, but not the quantity of the
  words.
• Check whether the essay has proper sentence
  structure, paragraph development, style, smooth
  transitions, and unnecessary repetition of facts
  or extended essay ideas.
• Add some subject area criteria and estimate your
  level according to it. Improve your writing,
  especially in the weak spots.
