the word limit is around 2000-2500 words. I've written just over 3000 ......
does that matter?

yes I'm fairly sure it does! If cousework has a limit it must be kept. Don't panic, stay calm, read through what you've written and see which bits are:
A) essential
B) not essential but good
C) waffle/irrelavent.

And use tipex accordingly.

If that doesn't bring it down, try the old fashioned method of word stripping. Wach how I do it with this paragraph: (word count = 22)

If that doesn't work, try eliminating words you don't need, like this: (word count = 12)

AAAAAAAAAH, 600 words over the limit.....
I keep reading it through and through and It's not waffle. They all HAVE to be there as well. I've changed some minor bits which took 50-100 words off... =.= =.= =.= =.= =____=" !

ARRGGHH
everything is WELL OVER the 10% limit. the abstract is 263 words long and the limit for that is 150. The intro is 800 and the limit is 600. The discussion is just under 1000 and the limit is 600. AIFNASOIFNADSOIFNSOIFNSDOFINSFOINSFOIASNFOIASNF UGGGGGGGGGGH
