Do you think this will be major?

[Frodo13.]

Im over the word limit on my AS English Lit coursework by about 100 words.

'An exploration of the way Shakespeare presents the character of Iago in 'Othello' '

Do you think it will be a serious issue, because I really need this to be perfect.

[Smiddy]

You will probably lose a mark or two for it. Could be the difference between your target grade and the one below though!

[kk.]

i dont really think it will matter, it matters if you go above or below 10% i think. well thats what i have with my business/economics portfolio :rollseyes:
if your not sure, you can always ask your teacher

[Asher]

You won't lose any marks, no.

It's usually 200 words each way. I know my English coursework in YR11 on Romeo and Juliet was 500 words over the limit, and I still got full marks.

[Brody]

na you wouldnt lose marks for it the word cap is really just a idea so u dont go overboard but if u go overboard u wont lose marks

[jesus]

100 words is quite a lot

they want you to be bang on or as close as possible to the suggested wordcount

[Virgin Mary]

No it doesn't.

[Jazza]

It depends on what the limit is, if it's supposed to be 2,000 words and you're 100 over it's nothing but if it's got to be 200 then yeah that's quite a lot.
