A student was told they need to be filling 5 - 6 pages in order to hit top marks in their Commerce exam essay Q.
Is that good advice?

In this episode I explain:

- Why it’s not about the word count or page count, and why it also IS about the word count or page count.

- Why it’s quality over quantity and why quality is - in some ways, sometimes determined by quantity or creates a particular quantity.

AND

- How your teen can nail this golden combo of top quality content, in the exact right quantity.

Going over the word limit in essays, assignments and reports is a common issue I see in knowledgeable, hardworking students.

The biggest problem is the amount of extra work it means they are doing when this happens: Extra writing in the first place, and extra time trying to cut it down before submission.

In this episode I explain the reasons for why this keeps happening for some students (no matter how much they try not to) so we can solve for the root causes.

AND I provide four actionable ways to prevent it in future, so your teen only spends the time and effort that's necessary for any extended task.
