some schools offer it as a lesson, some offer it as something to do in a free period, others say everyone has to do it.

You'd don't need any specific grades to do it.

I did mine on the use of robotics in delivering aid to wartorn and third world countries.

When you choose what to do it on, be careful, some topics you'll find extremely difficult to reach the word count, others like mine, you'll find that you can't put in as much detail as you'd like due to the word count limit.

My experience with it has been horrendus but thats mainly beauase of my schools entire lack of motivation for the EPQ. Something I wish I had been informed about before I took it....

I did about the soical history of tea and hopefully will be getting a good grade even though I had to teach myself about what the specifications are ect...

The actual project (should) help with skills such as independant learning, research and presentation. It is not recognized by universities however does count towards ucas points.

My EPQ title is “The planning and the evaluation of the Sixth Form leavers' prom.” I've created a portfolio of stuff decided so far and how we've raised money from parties etc etc etc, as well as this I've made an online blog, because the event hasn't happened yet (which I knew when I took up the EPQ).

I have my presentation in a few weeks and I haven't the foggiest what I need to put in it the basis of the event is planned and the most of it is done, but what am I meant to actually talk about in my presentation because this book my teacher gave me to help us is actually *******s!

Can anyone help please ?

Wait, if you go above 5,000 words do you lose marks?

I finally handed in my report last week. I have well over the 5000 words, closer to 20000...I know I will probably lose marks for this, how much?

Also, any advice on the presentation? Mines coming up quicky, and I've got no clue what to include - anyone who's done theirs and who would be willing to send me it would be amazing!

I still can't quite decide what my EPQ title should be! I know that I want to do some kind of comparison between medicine and surgery based treatments. But I can't quite decide which disease I want to focus on! Does anyone have any ideas? Any help!!!??

PS, Like the idea of Cardio or Neuro, so any diseases that have enough literature in one of those areas would be completely awesome.

Thanks for any help

So, i really want to do the epq but I really don't know which area of medicine to hone in on, any interesting suggestions?

[insomniacramblings]

Anyone know when's the latest you can be entered for the EPQ? I'm currently in year 12

[Natalie21]

Can anyone confirm if the 5000 words includes references or not, or does it have to be 5000 of your own words??

Your presentation is marked out of 10 (at my college anyway, it may differ), which goes towards your final grade for the EPQ-therefore it is a must to do it. I get nervous too, but if you really feel you can't do it in front of loads of people, ask your teacher if it can be just them and a few of your friends-that way it is a more comfortable setting for you. And practise it loads, if you know what you're going to say, you'll feel more confident in it.

^you could try comping thatcher to another prime minister, party leader or ruler of another country.

Comparing and "to what extent" questions are quite nice because they give you the chance to get some good evaluation in to reach the higher marks

Thank you.

Hello to whoever is reading this!

My EPQ is due in on Monday and I've pretty much finished it. But I still have a few questions:

-did you guys number your pages?
-did you include an index at the start?
-did you have a cover for your EPQ? (if so what should it contain)

I just need to polish it now. Any help is much appreciated!

[OSharp]

Does anyone know if there's a maximum word count for the Dissertation.

Not just a recommended number ? and is this figure including references or not.

Hello! First of all, well done on finishing it!

For my EPQ last year I did number my pages and also included an index at the start.
I did put a cover, which basically had the title of my project, my name and my student number, centred and in a large font.

I have a quick question on the EPQ _ it needs to be handed in tomorrow so I cant ask my teacher:

You know the 'evaluation of sources' - do you evaluate all the sources that you have cited and referenced in the report or just the ones in the bibliography?

Any help will be appreciated - kind of stressing out now! :/

You just pick five or six sources and evaluate their reliabilty and say how you used them mine was 1500 words long.

Have you done your activity log? If so how detailed was it?

Can someone really quickly tell me what is and isn't included in the AQA EPQ Word Count?
