I highly recommend looking through the Board of Studies HSC Japanese section, especially downloading the Notes from the Marking Centre.

No penalties are imposed on sentences or kanji not prescribed, but if you do them wrong it will look very bad. Basically just write what you know works.

Markers won't count your kanji, nor your sentences. However, the less you write the less impressive it will sound (like thin soup, I said elsewhere). Complex sentences basically say a lot with a little (ie using more than your simple A wa B desu) whilst not becoming clumsy. For example, an introductory paragraph may say stuff like "Hi, I'm Rachel Tang. I study at Generic High School. I study Japanese, Maths, English, and Atmospheric Absorption Theory". Not bad, for year eight. In Continuers you'd do far better to say "Hi, I'm Rachel Tang, and I study Japanese, Maths, English and Atmospheric Absorption Theory at Generic High School" continuing to other related and equally interesting sentences.
