EPQ Dissertation- Edexcel

Hi!
I'm doing a dissertation for my EPQ - I'm currently predicted an A and could even be an A*.
How many words should an A* dissertation be? - all the previous A* examples in my school have an average of 10,000+ words.
( I know it's not just abt the essay )

~5000 words.

It can be longer, but you should be aiming for quality not quantity. If you're unfocused and waffley, you limit yourself in terms of banding.

hi!

i hope you are doing well🙂 when i completed EPQ the word count was roughly 5000 words but you should defo check beforehand! i achieved an A when i completed it and a few of my friends achieved A* and a key thing they mentioned was that it is quality over quantity!!

hope this helps:smile:
