EPQ Taught Skills - AO1 - Questions and Supervisor version

Structured EPQ taught-skills questions on AO1 planning, aims and objectives, time management and monitoring progress, with supervisor answers included.

This resource develops students’ AO1 skills through a structured question sheet that explicitly covers planning, project management, and reflective monitoring.

The questions are designed to be used as taught sessions rather than homework tasks, helping supervisors standardise expectations and reduce vague or retrospective log book entries. Supervisor versions include clear explanations of what strong AO1 evidence looks like and how students can demonstrate it authentically.

This resource is suitable for use at the start of the EPQ and revisited throughout the project lifecycle. This is provided free as an example of the structure and expectations used across the full EPQ Taught Skills Suite.

Other assessment objectives are available separately or as a discounted bundle.

Includes / suitable for:

• Student question sheets
• Supervisor guidance and model answers
• Suitable for all EPQ pathways (essay or artefact)
• Can be used standalone or as part of a complete EPQ taught skills programme
