French GCSE Exam Writing 2024

Will they mark the work even if you go over the 150-word limit? I crossed out some unnecessary but good sentences out because I was over the limit, because I needed the end part. My teacher didn't mark the words after if you were more than 10% over the limit, so I'm not sure...

In 150 or 90 words, "environ" means "about", but I did 170 in a 150 word and they still gave me all the marks. I think the numbers mean the minimum.
