EPQ planning HELP!!!

3

Hi,
I'm currently in year 12 and I've started writing my EPQ although I have realised that the planning/ research holds the majority of the marks. Therefore I'm currently trying to do my planning for my EPQ although its hard to find any examples of this. I'm currently trying to make a Gantt chart and making a EPQ diary although since I've already started doing my EPQ a long time ago and skipped a lot of the planning steps I'm finding it hard to make this data up. Is anyone else in this situation or knows any good examples of how to get top marks in planning?

I managed a B grade so take what I say with a grain of salt ofc.

I put together a gantt chart of when I was going to have my research done. This got split into searching scientific journals and making, sending and analysing a questionnaire (they rlly like primary research). After research, I added short sections on the chart to represent write up milestones - normally 1000 words a week I think I put, during the summer. The research was basiclly just a huge strip ending in summer, and questionnaire split from making at the start of the course to analysing answers in the early summer.

Also used Google calander to remind me to research, scrutinise / check strength of sources, and work on the questionnaire - I then forgot to add this to Project Q.

EPQ diary is a good idea, I'm annoyed I didn't put it in. I'd just write some number of sources I checked in a day or how much I wrote.

And yes.
I also made the vast majority of it up while actively writing the epq, so don't feel ashamed or nothing - you're doing better then the 3/4s of the cohort that just quit.

Best of luck with your EPQ!
