can you write your IB Extended Essay about literally anything??

for example, I don't take IB Psych but I want to write my EE on a psych topic. Is this ok or is it like the EPQ (A Levels) where you have to write about a topic in a subject that you're studying? I'm a bit confused and hope someone will clear this up, preferably a teacher or a former/year 13 IB student. Many thanks!

Hello! I have just finished year 12 (1st year of IB in UK), here is the guidance I recieved from the Extended- Essay Coordinator at my school: "if writing a Subject Specific EE, you must be currently studying the subject at IBDP level. If writing a World Studies EE, you must be studying at least one of the disciplines at IBDP level". A world studies essay is one where you combined the knowledge from two subjects, so if you wanted to do a psychology topic which links to another subject you are studying then it would be possible as long as you do a World Studies essay. Hope that helps :smile:

what did you end up chosing for your EE topic? And do you have good resources to help with the EE that you can share?

Hi there, you could look at assessed EEs from the IB (https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/extendedessay/apps/dpapp/assessment.html?doc=d_0_eeyyy_gui_1602_1_e&part=1&chapter=1) as reference for what to do, what not to do etc. You could also try looking at clastify I guess. I personally used some exemplars from past students in my school that teachers provided. IB also has some you could buy (https://www.follettibstore.com/main/ib-inspired).
