The IB marks that essay like a careful mechanic checking an old car—first a global impression, then specific criteria, like the 'knowledge questions' and analysis. They look for the engine of your thinking, not just the polish. I learned this when helping my son, whose own elegant arguments were initially marked down for lacking a clear 'methodology' section. My life as a reporter says the obvious answer is 'follow the rubric,' but the real trick is to treat each criterion not as a checklist, but as a conversation with a curious, patient elder over tea.
