Word Limit!??! (1 Viewer)

Evening All

I was just wondering if anyone knew how many words one could go over the word limit without being penalised??

I presume it would probably be different for each school - is there a certain % of words that you can go without being penalised??

And should the school have something in their guidelines in regards to the word limit??

Thanks.

You'll have to ask the marker how strict they are. High schools don't have any universal rules to abide by.

Under is always better than over, or the other way around if your a risk taker.

All subjects except for English have a 10% leeway at my school.

At my school they just stop listening if you go over.

It used to be 10% but since entering year 11, my school actually doesn't allow you to go over the word limit :c

This pretty much - only your teacher can really answer this question. All we can do is speculate.

You should ask your school teachers for an answer-each school, and even each faculty may have different requirements. When in doubt, ask

Thanks for all comments made. All very true!

We will wait and see the result and if there will be any penalty.
