Selamun Aleykum :)

So I have a University assignment to hand in this Monday and I'm supposed to type 2000 words. The problem is I've managed to come up with 3000 words :rubeyes: I'm trying to get rid of some information but it's perfect as it is :(

Would my marks go down if I'm 800 words over the limit?

Jazakallah Khair for your help.

Really depends on the university, but normally they say it has to be within 5 or 10% of the word limit. I'd work it out for you, but I don't have great maths skills.

Hmm I'd have to get rid of a lot of information. Bad news!

the max you can write is 2200, anything over and you will be marked down per 100 words you have gone over. thats a lot of marks to loose! :)

Just cut down your sentences and remove any unnecessary words that you may have use.
