How long should your answers be? Answer: About the same length as Lincoln's Gettysburg Address The question of length is a good one. It's also a difficult one to answer as it depends on the question itself, your style of writing, the detail which you give to your examples, and—since this is an open-book exam where you basically could prepare questions in advance and then cut and paste from other sources (with proper credit given to those sources)—a good answer can vary quite a bit in length. To use their recommendations, a well focused, well organized, well supported, well packaged essay answer could be done (for most of the questions) in the equivalent of about a page and a half to two "normal" pages (double-spaced, one-inch margins, #11 or #12 font)—which is about 375-500 words. How long was the Gettysburg Address? 263 or 268 or 270 words depending on which printed version you check A standard "letter size" 8-1/2 X 11 sheet of paper has about 255 words, with a size 12 font So your answer should be about one page long, two if you use the Owl's recommendations
