Detailed Information
The Extended Essay (EE) is an independent research paper of up to 4,000 words, required as a core component of the IB Diploma Programme. Students choose one of their IB subjects and formulate a focused research question to investigate through primary and/or secondary sources. The EE develops research skills, academic writing and critical thinking abilities while contributing to the Diploma alongside TOK.
EE assessment evaluates focus and method, knowledge and understanding, critical thinking, presentation and engagement (through the RPPF reflections). TestPrep EE tutors guide students through every stage: topic selection, research question refinement, methodology planning, source evaluation, drafting and revision. Subject-specific guidance from tutors with expertise in the chosen discipline ensures academic depth and proper referencing (MLA/APA/Chicago).
Core topics include Topic selection and research question, Academic integrity and citation and Primary and secondary source analysis; HL covers the SL core plus extra depth and an additional paper.
We combine concise topic notes, conceptual questions and past-paper practice, with a weekly error-log review.
It depends on the target grade and starting level; typically 1-2 hours of tutoring per week plus 3-5 hours of independent work.
No. The IB publishes one subject guide for every school worldwide, so paper structure and weightings are fixed; only the grade boundaries move each session. HL and SL sit different papers.

Breaking Extended Essay (EE) into smaller pieces worked much better for me. My mock results gradually became more consistent.
Camila Braga
The IB Diploma format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Joonho Ahn
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. A clear plan for the final weeks made priorities much easier to see. Breaking the draft into smaller parts made it feel much more doable. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Focusing on past papers and mock review worked well near the exam. I was really happy with the lessons.

After enough examples of the same question type, the repeated mistakes decreased. The feedback I received on Extended Essay (EE) was clear and practical. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

We noticed that the resources kept changing during independent study. It was good to see confidence returning over time. Individual lesson time was used around our child's actual needs. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. We quickly felt that the tutor was a good match.

Declan Kavanagh
Our son's school schedule was already very busy. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. Being able to fit lessons around school made the process easier. Joining lessons willingly was one of the clearest signs for us. Flexible scheduling helped during a demanding school year. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.
