Title: Length of Literature exam essay
Post by: lolabrumby on October 02, 2019, 03:33:45 pm
Hi!
I completed my first practise exam today, and I was wondering how long I should be aiming in terms of the lengths of my essays? I sitting about 800-900 words at the moment, is that enough?
Thankyou!

Hey there! 800-900 words is perfectly fine, especially for your very first practice exam! The recommended amount is 1,000 words per section give or take, but remember the important thing is quality over quantity.
As long as your content isn’t lacking, you won’t be penalised for being a little bit under. :)

Yeah, that's great! They recommend between 800-1000 words per hour, so that's perfect
