Dedicated review workflow
Internal Assessment review: check your draft against the criteria
Upload your draft, select your subject, and get criterion-by-criterion scores with ranked fixes — using the configured assessment criteria for your subject and session. iBacalao supports 26 Diploma Programme subjects.
How it works
- 1. Choose your subject below.
- 2. Paste or upload your draft.
- 3. Read criterion scores and what to fix first.
Public review evidence
See the fixture and contract behind the review
The public methodology page shows the synthetic Biology draft used by the end-to-end review smoke test, what every criterion result must contain, which failures make the test fail, and what this evidence does not prove.
Review the IA methodology and test fixture →Feedback format example (illustrative)
Fictional excerpt for format only — not a measured accuracy result or a real student submission.
Research design 4 / 6
MUST FIX: Name control variables for temperature and state how each was held constant.
Data analysis 3 / 6
MUST FIX: Add uncertainty bars and justify Pearson vs Spearman for your trend.
Evaluation 2 / 6
MUST FIX: Link each weakness to its impact on the conclusion — not generic human error.
What should you fix first in an Internal Assessment?
Start with the criterion gaps that are both specific and actionable. iBacalao separates higher-priority repairs from lower-priority polish so you do not treat every comment as equally urgent.
- Resolve MUST FIX items tied to missing or weak criterion evidence.
- Re-check the same criterion after revising rather than judging the draft only by its total score.
- Leave lower-impact wording or presentation polish until the criterion evidence is in place.
After another review, use Compare Drafts to see which criterion scores moved between versions. For a source-dated comparison of coursework-review workflows, see Diploma Programme coursework feedback tools.

Common questions
Is there a free Internal Assessment review?
Signed-in free accounts refill continuously toward 60 Shells over 7 days. Upload a draft, pick your subject, and use the dedicated review workflow for criterion-level feedback.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant and can use assessment criteria you provide. iBacalao's IA review binds a draft to the configured subject and session criteria, then returns criterion-level feedback and suggested next steps. Other iBacalao workflows may provide AI assistance for supported assignments.
Does it work for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics?
Yes — including the first-assessment-2025 scientific-investigation rubric. Choose your subject from the grid below.
