Best Answer: You really should ask your teacher, as different professors have different requirements. Usually a short answer should be no more than 3-4 sentences. The length of essay questions can vary pretty widely depending on how many questions there are on the test and how many are essay questions. For example, you might need to write several paragraphs on a short test with only one or two essay questions, while a single paragraph might be enough on a longer test or a test with several essay questions.
A common guideline is that students have 10% leeway to go long: if your essay is to be 2500 words, you are fairly safe going over the count by 250 words, so long as your writing is compact and your argument is good. Itâs smart to check with your marker before you rely on this rule, though.
