What Yessay checks
IB checks emphasize research focus, criteria alignment, analysis depth, and places where background may replace explanation.
Analytical depth
Review whether the essay explains evidence instead of only describing it.
Criteria alignment
Use rubric or criteria details to spot missing expectations.
How it helps
IB essays reward focus and explanation
IB-style writing often asks for a clear research focus, sustained analysis, and careful use of evidence. A draft can contain strong material but still lose clarity if the argument drifts.
Yessay helps students review whether the essay stays organized around the task and whether the evidence is explained with enough precision.
Example IB essay feedback
Draft issue: the paragraph summarizes context but does not analyze.
This section gives useful background, but it needs to connect back to the research question. Add a sentence explaining how this evidence changes or supports your interpretation.
Common mistakes
The issues students usually miss alone.
Letting background replace analysis
Context is useful only when it supports a clear point.
Losing the research question
Each section should help answer the central question or develop the argument.
Ignoring criteria language
The rubric often tells you what type of thinking the essay needs to show.
