Assessment

You will produce a portfolio that contains supporting evidence of your project management, research and development of the project, and its on-going evaluation. All portfolios include an extended piece of writing, in the form of a dissertation (5000 words) or research-based report (1000 words) for practical projects. You are required to produce a short evaluative presentation. As part of your independent learning, you must record evidence of your progress in a log or diary. Portfolios are marked and moderated internally, before being externally moderated by the exam board. An EPQ is equivalent to half an A level, with an A* earning 28 UCAS points; an A is equal to 24 UCAS points; and a B earning 20 UCAS points.
