<p>how long are ppl’s activity blurbs?</p>

2

<p>mine is the max number of words. 150 (even though it lets you put a couple more, I just happened to have the right amount)</p>

3

<p>At the moment, exactly 150 words.</p>

4

<p>149 words.</p>

5

<p>would they prevent me from putting around 200 words?</p>

6

<p>yes, you are not allowed to upload a document, and the space you are given cuts you off after a certain number of words</p>

7

<p>okay…so mine is like 210 words, but it says to “amend my answer and try again.” But on the print preview, it looks fine and there is a lot of space left…</p>

<p>Do you think it will automatically cut off at 150 words???</p>

8

<p>You should cut it down. They mean 150 words when they say 150 words. Yours is almost 50% more than what they asked for.</p>

9

<p>Dude, cut it down. Even if you find away around it the limit, one of the reasons it only allows 150 words is because you should be able to express yourself in a small amount of space. Making it 60 extra words just makes you look like a) you can’t follow directions, b) you think you’re better than everybody else and c) you don’t know how to write concisely.</p>
