What is the maximum word count?

The word count limit for your assignment is 3,500 words, with a maximum of 4,000 words. 

Assignments that are less than 3,000 words are unlikely to contain sufficient details, and candidates are advised to take this into account before they submit. 

Penalties will be applied for exceeding the maximum word count:

* 1% to 50% over the specified word limit – 10% deduction.
* 50% over the specified word limit – the work will not be marked, and a mark of zero will be recorded.
