Research question and scope
The review checks whether the question is narrow, answerable, and visible throughout the draft. If the body paragraphs drift away from the research question, the score signal should reflect that risk.
Internal Assessment
IB IA grader for research question, method, evidence, and evaluation.
An IA can lose clarity when the research question, method, evidence, analysis, and conclusion do not line up. Coursework Grade Studio gives an independent review path for IA drafts, with score signals and criterion-level notes meant to guide revision rather than replace school feedback.
How an IA grader should read the draft
Design, source choice, or model choice
Different subjects need different methods, but every IA needs enough explanation for the investigation to feel credible. The grader should check whether the method actually supports the claim being made.
Limitations with consequences
Generic limitation lists rarely help. Stronger evaluation explains how a weakness affects validity, reliability, precision, stakeholder interpretation, or confidence in the conclusion.

Do one pass yourself first. Highlight the sentence that states the research question, the paragraph that explains the method, the evidence that answers the question, and the evaluation that explains what the result can and cannot prove. If you cannot find those parts quickly, that is probably the first revision priority. Then use Coursework Grade Studio to compare your own read with rubric-aware feedback.
IB IA grader FAQ
Can Coursework Grade Studio grade an IB IA draft?
It can provide independent rubric-aware score signals and revision feedback for an IA draft. It cannot provide an official IB grade or guarantee an examiner outcome.
What should I upload for the best IA feedback?
Upload the most complete draft you have, including the research question, method or source approach, evidence, analysis, conclusion, and evaluation if available.
Does IA feedback work for different subjects?
Yes. The studio supports general IA review and subject-specific contexts such as Biology IA, Economics IA, Math IA, and History IA.
