  13. My A grade TOK essay 2016 May 'In Knowledge there is always a trade off between accuracy and simplicity'..

    My TOK essay on accuracy vs simplicity, got an A grade for this....think it provides a good insight into how to incorporate knowledge issues, claims and counter-claims as well as real world examples to answer quite an open-ended question. Hope this helps anyone doing theirs although obviously plagiarism will be found out by the IB so don't do that.
