Hi All

Just about to submit my Part B answers, Im aware there is a 700 word limit for each question. But does anyone know how strict this is? is there a 10% leway like at some uni's? Ive got around 730 for each question and struggling to take more out.

Cheers

The below might help - from reading it looks like they don't mark anythign past 700.

When you submit your answer the text box in which you type in will not allow you to go over the max word limit.

One thing I would say, if you happen to "fail" a question, read through their comments and see if they are relevant to your answer.  I failed mine and appealed as I felt it had not been thoroughly assessed.

As a result it was changed to passed.

There does seem to be a lot of inconsistencies with the part B marking.

Thanks for the advice, I managed to get my word count down and passed the Part B.

David - I figured this out when I tried it, but I was intending to attach a file instead so could have gone over the word count,  thanks Im glad I asked.

PRI here I come!
