I'm not sure about all of them, but some of the form options you can choose for EE2 are:

Short Story.
Film.
Radio Script.
Poetry.
Speeches.
Critical Response.

And if you choose the short story form, you have 6000 - 8000 words to work with. 8000 words is the limit.

I'm sure all of the form options, along with their respective word/time limits, would be on the actual Board of Studies website.

Hope that helps.

A short story is 6000 to 8000 words with a reflection statement of 1000 to 1500 words.

With a short story, do you think it would adversely affect my mark if I'm around the lower end of the word parameters (i.e. around 6000 words) (honestly!)?

One of my friends got a 46 with about 6200 words so it doesn't look like it necessarily stops you from getting an E4. Dunno about higher marks though.

ptrgrgry, is there a particular reason why your short story is at 6000 words? maybe you could justify why you kept it at that number in your reflection statement? e.g. if you had 3 stories, to give an overall sense of balance and unity. or something like that?

I use images in my short story. And my major work was ~7600 words but I culled so much out because I changed my concepts so often that there were sections which were completely irrelevant by the end.
