Editing & Publishing the Extended Essay

This page will help you polish your paper to earn you points on criterion G (using language appropriate to the subject), criterion I (formal presentation), and criterion J (the abstract): avoiding colloquial language; the EE title page; how to write the EE abstract. This should be completed once before and once after your rough draft revision conference. The abstract is written last and will NOT be commented on by your supervisor.

Once you have completed your rough draft of the Extended Essay, you probably are feeling a sense of relief as well as exhaustion.  Many students make the mistake of stopping at this point because the content is done. However, the difference between a "C" and a "B" or a "B" and an "A" lies in this stage of the game: the particulars, which are relatively easy but critical to your final score. Consider the following handouts one at a time, not all at once. Your Extended Essay will need multiple editings to end up polished. And, by the way, if you were really perceptive about the "A" exemplars and the best extended essays, you'll notice something about every single one of them: from an editing standpoint, they're flawless.
