EPQ help please.

So in my 5000 word essay I have used:

Websites
3 Newspapers: Guardian, Telegraph and The Independent
Documentaries/Videos on YouTube
Quotes from Bible and Quran
Work from other people (obviously with giving credit and mentioning)

I wanted to ask if this research was enough or I need to use books or any other kind of sources.
And is it necessary to carry out Primiary research to get top marks?

1. Maybe find some journal articles from Google Scholar?
2. No idea if it is necessary to have primary research, I asked my centre coordinator and they are contacting AQA to see if it is.

If you can, I'd suggest getting some primary data but don't force it if it doesn't fit. I got some by emailing a bunch of university researchers for opinions and it just adds a nice variety of sources.

It is suggested having about 20 - 25 sources is good from a range of places (which you do have!)
