**Time **

It is recommended to spend approximately 40 hours in total to do the extended essay and not lo leave it all to the last moment because your work won’t be as good as it can be.



**Supervisor ** It is necessary that you talk to your IB school supervisor, as it is their job to set deadlines for the extended essay.
