Short Answer Questions Have Long Answers

Each written response to the SAQ, or Short Answer Questions is about 3-5 sentences, and you are going to end up responding to 9 prompts in total, so you're going to have to write 27-45 sentences. So yeah, not that short after all. Stay with me today as I talk about what to expect from the SAQ, why you shouldn't be overwhelmed by 27-45 sentences, a great formula to use for every single question, and where to find sample responses that will show you how others have done it right.
