Can I save my EPQ

Mid project review meeting required on Tuesday. I have done very little research (20hrs) and my school says we should have finished research before doing this page.

However, I already postponed the meeting so must do this page on tuesday having done little research and not feeling like I have full knowledge.

I can complete research at the end of this next week by grinding super hard (doing 40hrs ish prob). But will it already be too late as my mid project sheet may be inaccurate.
I procrastinated super hard on research and only started now. Also my essay is due at the end of April.

Am i forced to drop my epq or can i save it?

Hi Xylos,

My names Katy and i did an EPQ at A-Level! My advice to you would be to definitely try and get your work done as EPQ can really help getting into uni. However, if you're struggling to keep up on your work and don;t get it finished i would go to the meeting on tuesday and just be super honest! Explain your situation with your supervisor and ask their professional opinion on the matter and discuss your options! Don't stress if you end up dropping out as it's more important to focus on A-levels but I would encourage you to keep going!

You got this!! Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks for the reply. I want to keep going and will work hard but I want to know if you think it’s possible to still obtain a top grade being this behind?
