Should I give up EPQ

I've written about half of it, but I only have three days to write the rest of it AND I have to do other work on top of that. I'm behind in one of my subjects and only just keeping up in the other two. I hate giving up but I don't think I will do well in anything if I keep everything on, but I don't want to disappoint my parents either.. What do I do?

Could the rest of the work be focused on after finishing your EPQ? If you only have 3 days left to finish it you could try to focus on that for the next 3 days and catch up with everything else after the 3 days? :smile:

Even if I could do that (I can't -.-) there still isn't enough time

Are you really enjoying your EPQ topic? Is it useful for your university degree/ part of your offers? Do you actually have enough time to finish it to a good enough quality anyway?
If no - maybe it's worth dropping.
However - is it the actual deadline in three days or just the deadline for a draft? We had until about March/ April time to finish ours... By the final draft deadline I handed in about a quarter of the report and a few notes on my experiments, I hadn't completed enough experiments to be able to write much more anyway.
If yours is just a written report rather than requiring experiments/ making an artifact then you could probably sit down and do it in a few days if you really put your mind to it - if the actual deadline is much later and you think you could allocate half of your February half term to do it then maybe it isn't necessary to drop it.

Thanks, I've emailed my tutor to ask what he thinks but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna drop it, one of my friends in the same position is dong the same :smile:
