If I'm given something that says there's an expected word count, does it really matter if I don't quite reach that word count? I'm meant to write a report with an expected word count of between 2000 and 3000 words; but have only done around 1700 and can't think of anything else I need to write.

I've only ever been given set numbers, and we've got 10% each way before they lower our grades/stop reading
Tips for getting the word count up. Go back to the question, spider gram everything you can think of that should go into the answer, including any bacground, then make sure you go through what yuo've writted and that you've got all of those as well as an introduction laying out the background followed by what you're going to say, say it, and then a summary or conclusion that says what you've just said.
1700 is not enough either way though, I'm afraid.
