Briefly sketch your responses to questions before writing. Page limitations apply both to the entire exam section (i.e., 12 double spaced pages minus title page and any references) and for each individual question (i.e., no longer than 4 double spaced pages). Font size is the equivalent of 12 point pica. There is no penalty for submitting a response that is less than the page limit. The content of the response and its organization are much more important than the length of the response or the number of words.
