Some IB students in Norway recently won a handful of research competitions using the extended essays they finished for the Diploma Program. They didn't actually do any extra work; they simply submitted what they had already completed. Pretty cool way to rack up some extra honors as you apply to university.

How do you use your research skills in life outside the classroom?
I believe that research skills can be split into two categories: critical and analytical. Critical thinking skills allow me to intelligently question the validity of statements, sources and evidence, both inside and outside of research. Analytical thinking skills allow me to measure the importance of evidence, and extrapolate it to a conclusion. I would argue both skills are important in any context.
