Step 1Prepare

Preparation is key to success. This fact is even more true for IB English Paper 2.

In Part 1 of the study guide, you'll be asked to complete the 4 levels of Missions, which will rigorously prepare you for any Paper 2 prompt.

We'll also show you how to write a thesis statement that will impress your examiner.

The conventions of comparative analysis are different from Paper 1.

Part 3 of the study guide teaches you the detailed building blocks that make excellent comparative analysis that will blow your examiner away.

You'll learn how to write a powerful introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Step 4Exemplar Essay

We've written an exemplar essay for you to study and learn from.
