# How to Write a Strong IB Internal Assessment (IA) in Any Subject
🧩 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.
