<p>How many words can the essay go over 500?</p>
<p>You can technically go up to around 700-750, but if you do they can technically not bother to finish your essay.</p>
<p>Soooooo....</p>
<p>You can go as many words over as the page fits, but that doesn't mean you should. Nevertheless, mine was around 850-900.</p>
