    I know the structure, grammar, spelling need to be right in WC but i’m wondering how Long the Written Communications should be or how many words to use (approx) in order not to be too short or too long and end up waisting time?

    thx

    Mine were no more than three or four paragraphs with three to four sentences each. Keep it short and sweet and just answer the question with the basic format: introduction, body, conclusion.
    .
    I would be sure to brush up on your grammar. The correct term is “wasting time” not “waisting time”. You'll lose points for that.

    Mine were about 4-5 paragraphs. I did have 1 that went a little longer because it was “explain the 4 sections of (blank), so it ended up being 6 paragraphs. My strategy was I wrote the 1st and last for all 3 first, and dumped as many keywords from the question and what I could remember about the topic first. Then went back and added some more details in the middle paragraphs. Then I knew I would at least get some points for all 3 if I ran out of time.

    I read somewhere when I was studying, to remember you're writing for a computer grader. The computer doesn't care about filler or word count, they are only looking for keywords.
