Bit over word count (1 Viewer)

[astroman]

Hey guy's i'm in a bit of a weird situation atm, i have finished writing my business plan and the word limit is 2000 max. i currently have 2542 (with tables, heading and title) and 2013 (without) and literally cannot find anything else to cut down, i have read it like 20 times. Do you think teachers will care if I am 13 words over? Do they actually count it?

would be best to ask your teacher then. I have never heard of an assignment where you will be penalized for 13 words over

No, they don't have any word counting systems, nor manually count each word. However, they would probably take into account the quantity of pages, which is obviously an estimation of your word count.

it's 8 and a bit over pages, size 12 Times New Roman 1.5 spaced

Are you sure they won't be counting the 500+ words you've done over then??

The teacher's are unlikely to notice.

It depends on your teachers and how well they check it. If I was the teacher, I would ask for a digital submission and penalise you for going over - it's an unfair advantage.

oh ik that feel

at my school there's a 10% leeway given so try asking your teacher if you have it as well
