What happens if you exceed word limit?
If your word count is several words over the limit, changing “It is” and “I would” to “It’s” and “I’d” could help a bit. If your essay is 750 words, you will need to rewrite it. If the topic states the size, like 100 words or 250 words, but the essay field doesn’t limit the word count, you can go over but a little bit.
