Hey IGCSE centre,
Will we be penalised for going beyond the word limit in English -First Language (0500) and French as a Foreign Language (0520)?
Hello Rebecca John,
For English First Language (0500), you will not be penalised if you exceed the word limit in an essay writing. However, you have to make sure you can finish all the writing on time. If you wrote under the word limit, chances are you did not provide enough points to answer the questions, and might end up getting a lower score.
Our advice is not to write too much. Aim for quality rather than quantity. This means to focus more on writing excellent English rather than a long essay.
On a side note, if you are writing a summary ? DO NOT exceed the word limit.
On the other hand for French as a Foreign Language (0520), the recommended word count for both Question 2 and Question 3 are not mandatory; candidates should not feel obliged to remove significant detail in order to meet the word count. However, answers to Question 3 in excess of 200 words are inappropriate and in this instance candidates should be advised to be more selective. Kindly download the Examiner Report for reference, https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/images/424470-june-2016-examiner-report.pdf
Thank you so much! This was really helpful!
You’re welcome!
