Edexcel English Lit Alevel coursework - word count guidance

[littlenickyy61]

Hi Just wondering if there are any teachers/tutors that can answer aquick query.

My daughter is doing and A level English Lit as a private candidate. The guideline for word count the the coursework is 2500-3000. It states there is no penalty for going over this but says candidates may lose A01 marks if they go over and their essay is not cohesive. My daughter has done 3300 and is stressing that its too much while also not seeing anything in her essay she can condense further or remove having already done this. Does she remove more to get within the guidance but then possibly risk losing marks for the content that she has cut Can anyone give any guidance or reassurance. She is aiming for A* overall so really wants to get it right. Many thanks
