    German writing controlled assessment!
    Hi, I'm in year 10 and have a german writing controlled assessment coming up in a weeks time. I have just completed writing a draft and it's 620 words long. They say it's supposed to be 200-300 words long so will i get penalised if it's 620 words long? I'm finding it hard to cut it down any further /:
    Thanks

    They cannot technically mark you down for being over, but they will stop marking anything after say 330 words, you are allowed to go over the word count by 10%.
