For my GCSE coursework, I also wrote about a post - apocaliptic world. However mine was a little bit longer at 1697 words. And I only got a B. Will post it if anybody is interested. Yours is very interesting though :)

1697 words!! No wonder you had a B. More words means more room for mistakes.
Even on A-Level, you are advised to write between 800-1000 words. I often consider my maximum to be 1200 words, because the examiner himself would be bored... except if he or she is really interested in the topic you have chosen, and has your copy as one of the first to correct.

To be perfectly honest mine was one of the shorter ones in my class :P. I just tend to get carried away with the story rather than making sure that it's all gramatically correct :)
