BTHS Exemplars Comments
Essay 1 Score: 31. Strong voice in the essay. A good example of synthesis of course content and with real world concepts.  
Essay 2 Score: 35. Very well-rounded essay. Good diversity of examples. Probably one of the best conclusion to a TOK essay that I have read.  
Essay 3 Score: 31. Strong Essay. Well organized, written, and argued. However, it crams in a lot examples and research at the expense of personal voice
Essay 4 Score: 35. Very concise essay. One of the more difficult prompts. Concepts are clearly explained and almost all with novel and diverse examples.
