I had to write a 15 page argumentative paper in sophomore year of HS.

Also, if you go into a math/science research field, you’ll likely be writing papers on your own findings (e.g. experimental data on hexose transport rates, ultra-cold atoms, Riemann hypothesis). The page limit doesn’t matter, but most papers I’ve read range anywhere from 5-6 pages to over 50. The proof of Fermat’s last theorem was over 100 pages long!
