Asheee Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 We got told that there wasn't a strict word count. Basically, you don't want it to be too short, but also not too long. For my project, I didn't count Data, charts, graph and table titles in the word count. I think it's more important that your IA isn't too short because you need to make sure you get everything across in a way that the examiner can understand.

1-2-3 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I don't think IB has a specific word count.The school usually sets up one. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhe Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Really? my teacher does not mention anything on number of words, she only said that no matter how long we write, as long as we express the complete idea. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplisticwonders Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I do know that the maximum is 2,000 words.I'm at 1503, everything except my title page counted. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheee Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think mine was over 2,000 words, and I know there is no way my teacher would have let me be over the word count, so I'm pretty sure there's isn't a word limit. I got 19/20 on my project Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Mine was about 1,750 words. My teacher never said anything about a specific word count, though. My friend's was 2400 words and she didn't say anything to him about it. Of course, we just turned them in a week ago... I doubt there's a minimum requirement, but you'll still want to write enough to get full marks for everything. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee addict Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think mine was over 2,000 words, and I know there is no way my teacher would have let me be over the word count, so I'm pretty sure there's isn't a word limit. I got 19/20 on my project I am doing my Math Studies IA right now as well. Can you show me how to get high mark like how to get 19? My teacher is not helpful at all.
