College Comp w Essay - kisseld - 09-11-2010
I took Colege Comp with Essay today. I am a little worried. My essays had good content and structure, but only 3-4 paragraphs. I am reading here they must be 5 paragraphs. If the essays are good otherwise do you think I will fail just because of length. What are you thoughts?
Thanks

No, I don't think length is a deal breaker. 5 paragraphs may be preferred (and maybe not) but either way, you should not fail because of it.

Most importantly, remember to have a solid intro and conclusion.

I doubt they would mark you down because an essay had 4 paragraphs instead of 5. They are looking for content and structure of the essay. When I say structure, I mean an intro, solid points, conclu - not necessarily how many paragraphs you had - so as long as that is what your essay consisted of, then you are fine. It sounds like all went well for you; let us know how you did when you get your results!
