<p>Hi there, I've started to revise my EC essay, which has a word limit of 150. Is it alright if it's longer, say 300? Will I get penalized for going over the word limit?</p>
<p>I would not recommend submitting an essay that is twice as long as the stated word limit.</p>
<p>You are at 200% of the stated LIMIT. Why do you think you won't be penalized?</p>
