<p>If your essay is shorter than the character limit, should you worry?</p>
<p>Depends how much shorter. On the little ones, if it's more than 500 shorter, you might try adding something. On the big one, if it's 1000 shorter, you should still be fine. I think maybe 2000 shorter and you should worry. </p>
<p>But that's just my idea. Someone else might think differently.</p>
<p>yeah my long essay was ~3800 out of 5100
but it was One page exactly!
all my short answers barely fit- 5 character short of max on all</p>
