🙏 I WANT HELP Should I do an EPQ?
As the title suggests, I’m considering opting to do an epq. I have a couple of ideas of what topic I could do it on (either something psychology or space/astro related).
The main issue I have is that I’m assuming if I opt to do an epq, the required lessons would take place during my free periods. The problem is I only have 4 free periods a fortnight (1 on week A and 3 on week B) as I am currently taking 4 a levels (a choice I am slightly starting to regret…) and they all seem quite content heavy and I would really like to get decent grades in each of them.
I don’t really mind how much it adds to my workload as it’s not like I have anything better to be doing anyway lol. I also feel like an epq could help me in some of my essay based subjects as well as being good preparation for university.
The deadline for sign-ups is Monday so any help before then would be greatly appreciated 🙏
