I have the same question actually. Since we have 37.5 minutes to answer each question, how many words are expected?

According to average writing speed, a person can write 13 words per minute. This equates to 487 words per 37.5 minutes. So I think anything between 500-600 should be enough. Even the essay exam is built around same lines, 2500 words for 2.5 hours of writing.

Of course you have to be to the point as well :D
