Written Task written task word count

[memo52]

Hello,

I have a short question: What can happen if my written task include more than 1000 words, becuase as you know the limit is 1000 words, which you shouldn't exceed, but my written task includes 1135 words. Thus, my written task could not be send to the IBO?

Please write an quick response and thanks for your understanding

Well, the guide states that moderators are not required to read over the word count. Thus, those 135 words won't be read. Since those 135 words probably is your conclusion you should cut down the word count. In the worst case, you might even be downgraded since there is content that is missing (since the moderator) didn't read after those 1000 words. It will be sent to the IBO, but the moderators will do what I outlined over.

What subject is this by the way (regarding which forum the thread should be in)?

I'm not sure, but i think it might be English.

now I've reduced it to 1045 words, could there still be a problem now?

As I said above, any words that are over the 1000 words are likely to be not read. You should either have a word count of exactly 1000 words or under that.
