Going over the word limit for essays?

<p>If the max is 500 words but my essay is 546, do you think that'd be okay?
The essay is in a upload your document way, not copy and paste into the box.
Thanks.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's alright. Going a bit over isn't going to kill you. I went 85 words over. Just don't start going like to a 1000 words when they want 500 words.</p>

<p>Yeah, an extra 46 words is reasonable.</p>
