I have some really bad habits when it comes to English, I often don't even plan out my answers I just rush straight into it. btw, how long should a short story be? I wrote near enough 8 pages for one in my pre's.

There was a podcast on spin earlier with yer man from the institute which I thought was good advice actually he said to remind yourself that you're being asked to respond to someone elses statement (like youre not actually asked to talk about macbeth the play, but instead to respond to a statement and refer to the play).
