Formats are just for presentation, which to some extent should not be totally ignored. So yes follow the formats, but don't stress over it..rather concentrate on the content and language skills shown by your piece of writing.
yes also dont use that words and idioms whom you are not sure about of using it .

SalmanPakRocks , i'm a bit confused about the report writing format as you have mention 3 bullets/para but the points we are asked in exams to cover are almost 4 or 5 so are we supposed to make 4 or 5 paras... or we are bound to make 3. Plus how am i supposed to write a report to police.. about a crime happening in my neighborhood... i should mention my address... how do i write it?

Bro the format carries no marks ,the examiner is only concerned about the piece of writing you have produced .This is confirmed by an examiner.You may write down the format if you want to but why waste time on that ,when you don't need to.You can simply start with the words they ask you to start with such as 'Dear Sir 'or whatever. But you need to be prepared , in case they dont ask us to start with some words , i am afraid we must write the format :)

DO NOT COUNT!
the word limit is given for just a rough estimate of how long your composition should be. You never need to count. Its just wastage of time. Just dont write too much or too less, or, to be more specific, dont write less than two pages, and dont write this much that it wastes your time.

BUT, for summary writing in ppr 2, u must take care of words.
