I recently found a notation in one of the English exam boards' exemplar materials documents that said that quotations and references to the title of a novel can be omitted from the word count (I can't remember if it was AQA or OCR).
Does anyone know if this is the case for WJEC as well? I asked my lecturer, who said he didn't know and that it didn't matter because I shouldn't be getting anywhere close to the word limit anyway (sigh).
