How many words was your EE?

exactly 4000 in chem... but about 2000 more in appendix and footnotes. These are really extra-info like tables, calculations, I have one little experiment as an appendix too

to you Kannadaboi adn to all who haev such large appendices. Read EE marking thing... it stays that ALL appendices have to do smt with your topic and extended essay. So if i'm doing my EE on short-term memory i wont be describing what each part of the brain does, how the neurons work. I just need usefull stuff for my expeiment like how we do memorize things. So better watch out what you are writing cause you can lose points for unneeded stuff.

well since the EE is supposed to be an analytical essay, you just do the analytical stuff in the main essay. the background information (like research and stuff, that are narrative) just stick in an appendix. there's a guy in my class who did his EE in history and he had like 5 appendices to describe the battles and stuff that were all purely narrative.

That said, mine was 3991 words on English A1 on Harry Potter and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I dont think you get away with going over the word limit in any subject. some subject (math, science) you get away with less than 3000 words but that's made up by equations and tables and stuff. but you do get penalised for over 4000 so DONT put in the word count over 4000. If it's just like under 100 words over the wordcount, teak the circumtances a bit and report to wordcount to be under 4000. No one's going to like sit there and count that you're under 4000 (unless you get a weird examiner like my history teacher who did sit down a count every word of one of the EE he marked once!!!!). Dont make it look too obviously over though...I think you can probably get away with about a couple of hundred words over without anyone noticing, but that's about all.
