“I am really enjoying Skolatis! It is very helpful. I feel that the way you teach the subjects are very helpful and aid in helping people learn more complicated things. For example I’m a lot ahead in chemistry and biology. I’ve learned many more advanced things much faster than a teacher could have taught me it. Skolatis has really helped me improve in chemistry and biology!”

Hello,
Refer to the English paper 0500 which requires candidate to write about 250-350 words.
Will the candidate be penalised in the event he writes more that 350 words, say 800 words? Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you
ML
Hi Mei Lin,
You will not be penalised for exceeding the word limit, but if there are needed points inside the excess words, they won’t be marked and crossed out.
We strongly suggest that you keep to the word limit. Remember, you are being tested for accuracy, cohesion, and concision. Furthermore, the word limits will help you to plan your time in the examination and target the requirements of each question more effectively.

We hope this helps! Thank you!
