Trade Review"The layout is colourful and clear and there is a great deal of useful information in it. The comments from the moderator are particularly useful. The structure follows the specification clearly and the overlaps are explained. I think students and centres will find it a very helpful reference book, and indeed companion." Senior EPQ Moderator // "I will certainly be recommending the book very highly when it is in print." Senior EPQ Moderator // "This book will be an invaluable aid to EPQ students and their supervisors alike. The layout is very user friendly and the focus on the 4 assessment objectives throughout should really help students to maximise their mark potential and avoid the common pitfalls associated with this qualification. The use of student exemplars throughout each chapter is particularly useful in communicating the scope, diversity and personal nature of this exciting, challenging and valuable qualification." Senior EPQ Moderator
