Tips on cutting down an essay? (1 Viewer)

My Blade Runner/Frankenstein essay (Disruption and identity) is like 1300 words, for me to be able to get a proper essay done in the exam I'm going to need to cut it down to below 950 at least. Any tips?

I'd say to either cut out irrelevant info or just make your other essays shorter so you have time to write it

mine is 1294! haha and for the same Essay as well!

Personally, i wouldn't bother cutting it down too much, You'll find out what's relevant and what's not with the question and can cull it then, that way you have more information to work with.

I need to go learn mine noe so good luck!

get rid of adjectives (if you have)

Lol mine was 1300 too. You'll have to cut down the least significant point.

Cut out the retelling of the plot, and only keep passages that are essential to your thesis.

That's some 250-300 words out already. If a part seems disjointed with the rest of the text - remove it.
