Lesson: Introduction to the AWA Section

Comment on Introduction to the AWA Section

How many words is the ideal response to the AWA?

There really isn't an ideal word count. It's much better to focus on quality over quantity. A cohesive, well-structured 250-word essay with great ideas/points will score higher than a rough 400-word essay.

That said, I think 250 to 400 words should be fine.
