Although I didn't have a Y13 group this year, I was involved as a mentor for three students who were doing their NEA.
One student wrote rather more than the guideline word count, which didn't make it a better NEA, in fact it became a little flabby and unfocussed. We explored ways to be more concise and cut out the unnecessary bulk.
Now, the GA and the RGS-IBG have put together a letter encouraging concision and critical thinking about the way that the NEA is put together.
You can download the guidance letter here (PDF)
