I achieved grade A in the EPQ, ask me questions.

Nature / nurture debate of addiction, specifically drugs and alcohol.

Very interesting. Do you plan on going to university?

Yep I've been here for almost a month now studying forensic psychology.

That's sweet. Where do you study?

Is Wikipedia a good source to use?

Meh. It's not exactly reliable is it?

I'd stick with journals, articles written by academics, documentaries, etc.

Hello,

Dissertation.

I used 32 resources overall.

I didn't get any feedback, but I felt that I rushed my production log towards the end, so this is most likely where I lost marks.

Give yourself plenty of time!

Which one do you think I could get higher marks on (A/A*):
1) Should the NHS treat people, depending on neagive lifestyle choices?
2) Should the NHS treat obese people?

As It's a 5000 word essay, the first one may be too long and the second one may be too short, which one should I choose?

I would go for 1 as that asks something a bit more specific and shows that you put some thought and time into your initial thesis. I got a grade A in my EPQ with AQA too. And because it is a bit more specific you may find it to be shorter than you expected due to the increased difficulty of finding relevant sources etc.

Wait number 1 is more specific? Also, would you say I talk about alcohol, smoking and obesity or only focus on two as I'm really struggling to structure it

Depends on how you answer the question. Having re-read your initial question number 1 invites a clear structure for your actual essay:


and their individual effects of each on both the NHS and the public.

The real marks lie in managing to find a mix of reliable sources of data, as well as comparing and contrasting between the data, analysing the pros and cons of each source as you go along as well as being able to order and generate your bibliographies properly. I recommend Harvard referencing to do this. You will also need to consider if, by the end of your project, your thesis also invites a clear answer: Yes, or no. Which your topic clearly does.

I would also recommend distributing online surveys through Google forms, however data gathered may be too personal since practically your EPQ is to do with the service delivery of the NHS.

Hope this helps!

Wow this is alot like history , also when you advised me how to structure it, (bold) did you mean I should talk about each lifestyle choice seperately, for e.g. Subheading,
What do these lifestyle choices cause:
Would I talk about all three or just one of the lifestyle choices.
So give each lifestyle choice a mini essay seperatly not put them together all you go along the essay.
I hope you know what i mean?

Yeah, split each individual subheading into smaller and more manageable essays which should inform your final conclusion. Make sure they all your arguments both for and against are relevant to the original thesis being discussed. This is how I managed my project.

Meh. It's not exactly reliable is it?

I'd stick with journals, articles written by academics, documentaries, etc.

Are you okay?
