My essay right now is at around 530 words. I’ve shown it to several friends and my English Lang. teacher from last year and no one really knew how I could cut it down. A lot of things I’ve seen have said to keep it at 500, but that’s when the essay in question was at around 700 words or so. Should 530 words be fine?
