# TOK Made Simple — How to Think Like an IB Philosopher
🧠 1. TOK = "How Do We Know What We Know?"
That's it. Every question, essay, or exhibition is about*how knowledge is created, tested,
and trusted.*
🧩 2. Connect Real-World Examples
Use personal experiences or real events to make abstract ideas concrete.
Example: Use an AI-generated essay to discuss "knowledge and ethics."
💬 3. Build Balanced Arguments
Every TOK essay or exhibition should have both sides.
- Strength: Why this way of knowing works
- Limitation: Where it might fail
🧭 4. Avoid Overcomplicating
You don't get extra marks for using jargon.
TOK rewards clarity, not complexity.
