<p>This is a minor question, but I was wondering, should you include the quote you are responding to at the top of your essay?
Thanks!</p>
<p>No, it’s not necessary to. I just did it like this</p>
<ol>
<li>[tab] Blah blah blah blahhh…</li>
</ol>
<p>Just put the number of the quote you’re responding to. I got accepted ED so if it worked for me it should work for you 
Best of luck!</p>
<p>I put the quote just to be safe but I think you’re fine either way, number or quote.</p>
<p>wilkins012…what was the word limit of your essay?
Mine is currently 435 words 
Yet all the essays I’ve come across on CC and other websites are much beyond that!</p>
<p>Sorry im a bit late but mine was about 380 words I’m sure as long as it’s not dreadfully long and boring it’s ok =)</p>
<p>haha, thanks for the reassurance ;)</p>
