The IB TOK Exhibition allows students to explore how knowledge is created, shared, and valued in the real world. If you are formatting your TOK exhibition and are unsure about the correct spacing, read this post for a recommendation of what spacing you should use to keep your TOK exhibition professional and easy to read.
IB TOK Exhibition Spacing
As per the official IB guidelines, there is no specific spacing that needs to be followed for the TOK Exhibition. However, it is generally recommended to use 1.5 or double spacing. While using single or 1.15 spacing isn’t prohibited, it can make the text in your TOK essay harder to read and less visually appealing for the examiner. This could lead to the examiner missing important details if the text seems clustered together rather than spaced out sufficiently. Some examiners also like to write comments between the lines while grading, which is easier to do with essays that are 1.5 or double-spaced.
Although spacing alone won’t directly affect your marks, presentation matters since well-formatted work leaves a stronger impression and can give you an extra edge when aiming for a top score on your TOK Exhibition. We therefore recommend using a spacing of 1.5 or 2 and a font size of 12 to ensure clear readability. The TOK Exhibition also has no page limit, so you don't have to worry about exceeding any limits if you use a wider line spacing. However, it does have a word limit of 950 words, so you should ensure you stick to this limit no matter what line spacing you use.
We hope you found this post helpful in learning more about the TOK exhibition spacing. For more useful materials associated with the IB, check out the wide variety of IA, EE and TOK exemplars available at Clastify and other guides available on our blog.
