Noticeably Absent Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 This is just a guess, but I suppose you get marked down. Or perhaps won't even receive a mark. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbTrojan Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 You get marked down. IB is pretty strict about their word counts. I don't have the rubric on me but it's similar to English Lang and Lit where you can only get a limited number of points in one criterion if your word count is under or over.

Blackcurrant Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) You lose two points. Why give up points so easily? Edited March 16, 2015 by Blackcurrant Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 As it stated in Language B guide, the rationale should be between 150 and 250. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyRodeck Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 As it stated in Language B guide, the rationale should be between 150 and 250. It actually says "The word limit for the written assignment at SL is 300–400 words, plus a 100-word rationale, and at HL is 500–600 words, plus a 150-word rationale." Mine has 148 so i think you should try to stay close to 150 and i really don't know what happens if you exceed the 150 but my teacher told us not to.

That is correct for the written assignment last year, but there are some changes in language b written assignment this year. In the new subject guide, it is written for SL "Written assignment: Receptive and written productive skills Inter-textual reading followed by a written task of 300–400 words plus a 150–200 word rationale, based on the core." and for HL "Written assignment: Receptive and written productive skills Creative writing of 500–600 words plus a 150–250 word rationale, based on one or both of the literary texts read." 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
