How important is my extended essay to my International Baccalaureate diploma?

So far, I have barely had time to make a mediocre essay, and the finalized copy is due in a matter of week. I know that a good score on my extended essay will help me earn an IB diploma, but I don’t know how much of an effect it has. If it only determines a small percentage, I may settle for a mediocre EE, but if it is a huge determining factor I need to know now so I can shape it up.

IB students, help me out!

The EE is mandatory, but doing a mediocre one doesn’t really affect your IB score since the EE is like extra credits you can earn towards your final IB score. But it might count for a considerable percent for your TOK class grade.

You say that you have hardly had time to make a mediocre essay and yet here you sit pilfering your time away on Yahoo Answers. Sounds like you have already made the decision on which essay you plan to turn in. It’s not like your entire life is being shaped by the decisions that you make right now….or is it?

DO YOUR EXTENDED ESSAY NOW! You cannot graduate without it. Remember that form your guidance counselors had you sign in 11th grade when you agreed to pay the school money if you drop out? Well, it also said that doing your EE is essential to graduation. So…yeah. Pretty important.

I would also like to add that I am pretty disgusted that you don’t know enough about your own program to know that the EE is essential. When I first posted, I was considering telling you it was an unimportant assignment just to see how you managed. Learn some responsibility! You’re a senior for christsakes!
