Is this a good EPQ question that will let me get A*?

In the epq ill do my intro, then what parkinsons is, then exactly what the treatments are and how they will work (including reasons for selecting those treatments), and then how valid/ relaible they are, then compare them against the other to say which is the best.

What is the best treatment for Parkinson's disease?
After I do my research I'll alter the question slightly to, out of the few selected treamtnets, which is the best out of them?

I'm kinda scared I've properly started too late so any support and guidance is GREATLY appreciated - my deadline is in september.

as for the structure of my epq - so i was wondering about this.

my question for this part is, must i know which im going to select as the best treatment before i start and then argue why that is the case throughout, or must i kinda figure that out as i show the pros and cons of each treatment?
also should i have conducted an experiment for this to get high marks? I couldnt exactly think of a way an experiment could prove which treatment is the best, since i get that answer through many experiemnts having been done and tested and treatments studied over time...

whatare your thoughts on this question? Will it allow for an A* EPQ?

You arent late at all! I did it all in about 4 weeks (of hard work) and managed to get an A* my supervisor was not happy at all! Coz i did nothing last time it came round to it

as long as there's depth of analysis its fine

Hello there,

Your question sounds fine and your structure sounds good too. With EPQ, it is essential to have a good production log and A LOT of evidence to show organisation and planning. I’d recommend creating a few mindmaps, a Gantt Chart or anything else that has deadlines so it shows you are sticking to them. In your production log, write down everything. I conducted an interview but that was extra I know may people don’t so don’t worry about primary data, I just did it because I had the opportunity to.

Would it take a dump on my marks to say in my production log or show that I struggled for time but I made up for it in the end, so like my time management wasnt consistent but I made up for it in the end? or should I just edit as I go, bluff the parts I may not have really been productive in (but made up for later) then edit to make them look better when I finish?
In my proposal form it says i should have finished my lit review right now but i have to actually start the research. then my plan has shifted to doing the discussion first then the lit. review. partially the reason why i started late in the first place us because of how long it took me to come up with a question i was happy with (so it was feb that i actually stuck to my question, then i procrastinated a bit, then revised for exams until now). also i did a presentation on my findings in a medical society at my school, would it be really benefical to put that into my project log too?

sorry for the length of this message!
