Hi, I submitted my PDR (95 regs) last week and was only a fraction under the 6000 word limit. If CILIP have stated the report should be 4000-6000 words then anything in that range must be acceptable (I hope!). I spoke to Marion Huckle just before I sent my PDR off and she said everyone is working hard to get through the bulge in submissions caused by the deadline. I've missed the 8th December board meeting but Marion said my report would probably be considered at the first or second meeting next year. My plan was to submit my report and then forget all about it, but in reality I keep thinking about it every five minutes! If the same goes for you then it might be worth phoning CILIP to get an estimation of when you might hear back with your result. Good luck! emma
