yeah i've never done any essay competitions either!! i'm also nervous and i don't know whether my structure is decent enough lol. but they said that there is no right or wrong answer so i guess that as long as the essay is comprehensive they are gonna be fine with it

Where does it say you can stay within 10%? I’m pretty sure it’s max 1500? I’ve gone over as well but i think I’m going to have to just cut it down somehow
