Upgrade to Pro for unlimited RQ generations, examiner marked exemplars, IB-style question banks, revision notes and more.
A top-scoring Japanese RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Define a specific object or set of objects of study, such as particular works, authors, or cultural phenomena, to avoid vague or overly general topics.
Limit the scope of your investigation to a manageable level, focusing on a small number of primary objects and a specific theme or period that can be explored in depth.
Write your guiding statement as a single, complete sentence that is grammatically correct and unambiguous, avoiding unclear pronouns or vague terms.
Frame your research question to require analysis or argumentation, prompting critical thinking rather than simple description or summary.
Ensure that your research question explicitly focuses on Japanese language, literature, or culture, making it clear that it is an IB EE in Japanese.
Choosing topics that are too expansive, attempting to cover a wide range of works, genres, or historical periods that cannot be adequately addressed within the word limit.
Formulating questions that can be answered with simple summaries or descriptions rather than requiring in-depth analysis.
Using broad or general terms that do not clearly indicate a focus on Japanese texts or cultural phenomena.
Writing research questions that are fragmented or unclear, making it difficult for readers to understand the main focus.
Failing to specify the particular works or authors being studied, leading to ambiguity in the research question.
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.
On Clastify, generate/evaluate in the language you will use for planning; ensure the final school submission follows your subject’s language rules.
A focused inquiry suited to Japanese language and cultural/literary study—clear enough to investigate with texts or language data at your level.
Include themes, text types, or cultural contexts you can analyse. Overly specialised phrasing often produces unfeasible questions.
