Essays tips

📏

Most high school essays require 500–1000 words. College essays typically range from 1500–3000 words.

⏱️

Check the reading time — a 2000-word essay takes about 7–8 minutes to read. Good for gauging presentation length.

🔤

Monitor unique word count to avoid repetition. A higher unique word ratio indicates richer vocabulary.

💡

Use the top keywords view to check if you are overusing certain words — great for self-editing.
