<p>I don’t think there is a word count. I think it says about 1/3 of a page for each.</p>

<p>If you are doing it online, there is a character count. Although I can’t remember what that is at the moment. </p>

<p>Once to two paragraph, appox. The online app will tell you if you go over the limit.</p>

<p>is it 1/3 of a page double or single spaced??</p>

<p>If you do it on paper, you just have to make sure it fits in the space provided. Single spaced is fine, but make sure it’s a reasonable size font (at least 10)</p>
