A top-scoring German A (Lang & Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Incorporate elements of textual or linguistic analysis in your question, focusing on how meaning is constructed through language and form rather than external contexts.
Frame your research question to require critical analysis, exploring relationships or effects rather than merely summarizing or describing the material.
Narrow down your inquiry to a manageable aspect of the chosen material, such as a specific motif or theme, to keep your analysis within the 4,000-word limit.
Clearly identify the specific primary material you will analyze, such as a particular text, author, or character, to ensure your research question is focused.
Formulate your research question as a coherent and complete sentence, avoiding vague terms or placeholders to ensure clarity in your inquiry.
Choosing a research question that encompasses an entire work or author’s oeuvre instead of a specific element, leading to superficial coverage.
Formulating questions that only require descriptive responses rather than analytical exploration, which can hinder critical thinking.
Neglecting to emphasize textual or linguistic features in the question, focusing instead on biographical or historical aspects that do not align with the criteria.
Creating ambiguous or incomplete questions that confuse the reader, making it unclear what the research will investigate.
Using overly broad topics that do not specify a particular text or aspect, making it difficult to conduct a focused analysis.
Yes. Our Research Question Generator was trained on thousands of high-scoring IB exemplars, and the ideas it generates are designed to align with IB criteria so you can develop research questions that meet the standards.
Select your subject and category (IA or EE), optionally enter a few keywords or interests, then click Generate. The AI returns research question ideas tailored to your subject, which you can refine further with the tweak tools.
No. You can leave the keyword field blank for instant inspiration, or add a few words about your interests to get more targeted ideas.
Generated questions are starting points aligned with IB expectations. Similar research questions appear across cohorts—what matters is that your investigation or essay content is your own work.
The Research Question Evaluator was trained on thousands of research questions marked by IB-certified examiners. It evaluates your research question using the same IB criteria, helping you understand its strengths and areas for improvement.
Free users get a limited number of generations per week. Your limit resets weekly. Upgrade to Pro for higher limits and full access to Clastify AI tools.
Try to link the construction of meaning to formal/informal register and compound style. It is best to analyze how these features operate within concrete texts, rather than discussing culture in abstract terms. Note DACH context if relevant to the text.
Try pairing a specific German text, author, or genre with a literary technique (such as rhetoric, framing, multimodal design, or narrative voice). Note DACH context if relevant to the text.
The evaluator often flags prompts that rely solely on themes, lack a clear audience or purpose, or have a scope that is too broad for a detailed German textual study.
