Q: In regards to the word count, eg career plan 750 words. Do we need to strictly follow this word count or use this as an indication when writing our assessment. Would we be penalised for going over the word count if we had eg. 900 words in the career plan rather than the guideline 750?

Q: In relation to the word count question already listed, can we use the word count flexibly for each element of the question eg. use 500 words for the careers plan but then spend those left over words on another reflection area of the assessment or do we need to strictly keep to the guidelines advised. Is there any flexibility to choose how we use the words to each component whilst staying in the 5000 word limit?
