Did you double space the essays?

I worked from last year's secondary and double spaced, but this year the app doesn't say double space. (same questions and only 2 compared to last year's 4)

I don't know if I should try to make it longer with single space...

I single spaced it and pretty much filled the page.

Single spaced it too.
My 1st essay was about a page, the second about 1/2

I absolutely hate writing..ugh! So pulling out a page was painful! 🙂
 
single spaced. As long as you answer the question well, I do not think it matters.
