hey all


how long did it take you guys to complete all of those tedious secondary essays? also, did you keep them short when it said "keep under one page"?
 
I keep all my responses to secondary questions in one big file. As I've completed them, I draw from past responses to similar questions and edit/expand as necessary. I find this really helpful so that I don't have to create something "new" each time. Depending on the complexity (or uniqueness) of the secondary I usually spend 30 minutes to a couple hours from start to finish.
 
do you guys keep the essays shorts , for exampe if you are told to write about your community service activities, would you keep it short, not really essay-like?? and would you talk about ALL your activities, or just list them all and talk about the most important ones?
