Strong IB Scores Are Not About Writing More — They’re About Writing Right
Many IB students work extremely hard, yet still fall short of their predicted grades.
The reason is simple: IB exams are not marked on effort — they are marked on criteria.
Understanding what IB examiners actually look for can make a dramatic difference in final scores.
1️⃣ IB Examiners Reward Understanding, Not Memorisation
IB assessments test:
- Conceptual understanding
- Application of knowledge
- Clear reasoning and justification
Students who memorise content without understanding lose marks, even if their answers are long.
Online IB coaching helps students:
- Break down concepts clearly
- Explain ideas in examiner-friendly language
- Apply learning to unfamiliar questions
2️⃣ Structure Matters as Much as Content
IB examiners look for:
- Clear introductions
- Logical flow of ideas
- Proper use of terminology
- Direct answers aligned with command terms
Many students lose marks simply because their answers are poorly structured, not because they lack knowledge.
This is where guided practice makes a real difference.

3️⃣ Command Terms Decide Marks
Words like analyse, evaluate, compare, discuss are not interchangeable.
IB examiners expect students to:
- Understand command terms precisely
- Match answers exactly to what is asked
- Avoid over- or under-answering
Personalised IB coaching trains students to decode questions correctly before answering.
4️⃣ Use of Evidence and Examples Is Critical
Whether it’s:
- IB Economics
- IB Biology
- IB History
- IB Business Management
Examiners reward:
- Relevant examples
- Accurate data or case studies
- Proper justification
Generic answers rarely score top marks.
5️⃣ Internal Assessments and EE Are Marked Strictly
Many parents underestimate the importance of:
- Internal Assessments (IA)
- Extended Essay (EE)
- TOK components
These are externally moderated and heavily criteria-based.
Expert IB coaching ensures:
- Correct structure
- Alignment with rubrics
- Ethical guidance (no plagiarism)
Why Targeted Online IB Coaching Works
With the right online guidance, students gain:
- Clear understanding of assessment criteria
- Regular examiner-style feedback
- Focused improvement areas
- Confidence in exam performance
Results improve not by chance — but by strategy.
