On part 2C of the Create Task, the students have a word limit of 200 words. On the [code.org](http://code.org) SURVIVAL GUIDE, Pg. 16, it says 200 words at the top of the page, however at the bottom of the page it is 250 words.

I hope this can be changed for future years since it caused a panic with several of my students.

Thanks

I had a few students click the FINAL SUBMIT button with a word count \>200 and \<250 for 2C (Create Task) We looked over the rubric and there doesn’t appear to be an official penalty for a word count \>200. The AP Instructions also provide a “total” word count of around 700 or so for all parts.

Good news, there total word allowance is less than their total.

I suspect, these word allowances are not checked but keeps most responses the same length.

Thanks for fixing it. Peace
