I really hate EPQ, I'm finding it so stressful. The lessons are poorly structured and we get very little support from teachers - any support we do get is irrelevant and not useful at all. As the lessons weren't benefiting me in any way, I decided to continue with my EPQ independently in my study periods. However, I feel completely out of my depth and actually dread the thought of continuing to write the 5000 word essay (I'm currently about 600 words in), even though I love the subject I'm researching, and I'm usually an excellent writer! I want to drop it, but I'm afraid it might affect my UCAS application. Should I speak to the uni I want to go to and ask them if it would change anything? And also, has anyone else had any negative experiences with EPQ? Or is it just me?
