History IA (Historical Investigation) Example - Grade 7

-



The History IA was one of the hardest assignments I did during my time in the IB, and not without good reason! Luckily, it all boils down to 3 main sections which require relatively simple things from you. You need to analyse your sources (you can use OPVL, a highly recommended method), try to create a balanced discussion about your research question, and finally introduce some of your own thoughts on the process by reflecting. Take a look below at my own History IA for an idea of how you can structure it and what kind of content you could include in your own investigation!

PS. I have taken screenshots of the pages of my IA so you can still see how I did the citations alongside the text, so it might look a bit grainy and small. Don't be afraid to just zoom in to the text if need be!

How To Get 7 In Your ESS IA: Step-By-Step

The IA in ESS is considered by most students to be an assignment that can easily be done in a short amount of time. However, almost all students I've come across that actually completed it had major issues with understanding what exactly was required from them, finding out last minute their idea wasn't deemed fit for the subject or underestimating the role of your personal knowledge in being able to conduct the IA. Most humanities oriented students can't do experiments, and most science students can't do questionnaires. Keeping in mind that the IA is marked like you're conducting a experiment with a twist of humanities, you're bound to get confused as to how to approach your IA in the way the IB wants you to.  In this step-by-step guide, I will be leading you through all the minimum requirements that will help you get a 7 in your ESS IA. This will guide you through the key elements of your IA, including the mandatory sections and examples of how you could sp...

How to Ace Your Psych IA: Step-By-Step

The Psychology Internal Assessment (IA) is one of the most challenging components of the IB for many students, however doing well in this IA requires you following very straightforward steps. By going very thoroughly and methodologically through the requirements of the IB criteria and this list of sentence by sentence guidance, you are definitely on your way to acing the Psych IA and getting that idolised 7. While these steps can be adjusted and more can be added to your own IA as this assignment is different for every student and study, I have tried to make each step as basic as possible so anyone can do well on their Psych IA (even if you have a bad teacher or are just very confused!) I have spent many hours compiling together guidance for every section of the Psych IA, the appropriate amount of sentences and paragraphs for each section, and what they should individually cover and how. As such, I have split this guide into 2 parts, where one is Planning Your Psychology IA  and...
