Okay, well my EE isn't due for a while, and unfortunately I have a err... not bad because she's brilliant but not a helpful advisor. She won't tell me the minimum word limit for an EE in Physics because I don't think she actually knows.... and she can't give me a yes or no answer if the data collection like charts and stuff count in that word count. I love Physics and I love my physics teacher but I want this crap done so I can work on my Psychology IA... can anyone help? Please and thank yous!!!

There is no minimum word count but I would say at least 2000 words.

Our advisor told us 3500 is the minimum. You can't really write a good essay, with in depth analysis, if you only have half of the word limit (2000 out of 4000 words).

The minimum word count for Science essays is generally 2500 to 3000. You're better off for a minimum of 3000. 2000 words will not get you anywhere.

yeah i agree..
i don't know about minimum but it's the best to have around 3000 to 3500 words.. according to my EE teacher.
so try to write at least 3000 words.. i don't think 2000 words are enough to at least satisfy the IB graders.

Our school rule is minimum 3500. I find that reasonable, considering it is an EXTENDED essay.
