AWA Essay Length

Hi All,

Can someone please let me know whether the essay should have a minimum length for e.g. 300 words.

Regards,
Ankit.

There isn't a strict word length requirement, but a too-short essay will affect your score. If you have at least 4 paragraphs with at least 4 decent-length sentences in each paragraph, that should be good enough.
