A top-scoring Chinese A (Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Limit your scope to no more than two primary works or authors to allow for in-depth analysis and avoid overwhelming breadth.
Craft your research question as a complete sentence that implies interpretation or argument, steering clear of simple descriptive prompts.
Frame your question to emphasize literary analysis, concentrating on how meaning is constructed within the text rather than external factors.
Specify a particular literary aspect such as theme, character, or narrative style to guide your analysis and avoid vague terms.
Clearly identify the primary literary work(s) and/or author(s) in your research question to ensure a focused analysis.

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.

One work or a tight pair beats “Chinese poetry and love.” Bound by author, genre, or device. Mention simplified/traditional context if it affects analysis.
