Would someone be able to give me a good idea of the limit(with respect to length) of the short answer essays.
How does the actual answer sheet look like in the real exam? |

You need to come on one of our Courses and ideally Essay Writing Technique! 
You have one sheet of A4 per answer with the question at the top. The paper is lined (1.5 spacing to be exact) and the sub-headings or individual questions are written at intervals. This means you have a dedicated number of lines in which to write your answer - tricky!! It all comes back to planning - you have to plan very carefully before putting pen to paper to ensure you use these lines as best as you can and therefore score well.
We provide lined paper and mimic the exact exam style on our courses to force you to do this. It is an important excerise to practice and to be shown how to master. Maybe the most important.

| Does it involve one side or both sides of A4 paper? |
