IB Geography Extended Essay Grader
Get AI feedback on your Extended Essay against the IB criteria for your exam session: the new criteria (30 marks) from May 2027, and the 2018 criteria (34 marks) up to November 2026. You get detailed feedback on every criterion and an estimated A–E grade.
Your exam session
The IB marks the Extended Essay against new criteria from the May 2027 session. If you sit your exams in November 2026 or earlier, your essay is marked against the 2018 criteria.
Type of review
How is the A–E grade estimated?
The IB sets the Extended Essay's grade boundaries again every session; there is no fixed table. So the estimate follows the grade descriptors the IB asks schools to use for predicted grades. The IB publishes your final grade at the end of the session.

How lessons work
Live case-study bank
We maintain a curated bank of recent case studies across themes so students always quote up-to-date evidence in essays.
Synoptic thinking from term 1
HL Paper 3 rewards integration across themes. We teach synoptic links throughout the course, not as a Paper-3-only skill.
Fieldwork as method
The IA's hypothesis, sampling and data collection are scaffolded carefully so students focus on analysis, where the marks live.
Advice
IB Geography: common mistakes and study tips
MistakeEssay answers without case studies.
FixGeography essays at every level require named, located case studies. Generic answers cap the bands.
MistakeOutdated case studies.
FixExaminers reward recent, relevant case studies. We update the case-study bank each year so students don't rely on textbook examples from a decade ago.
MistakeHL Paper 3 essays without synoptic links.
FixPaper 3 explicitly rewards integration across themes. Single-theme answers under-score.
MistakeIA based on poor fieldwork data.
FixWeak data caps the IA. We help scope a question where realistic, defensible data collection is feasible.
MistakeMap and graph questions without precise locational language.
FixCompass directions, coordinates, scale and named features are explicitly marked. Loose locational language is wasted ink.
