What's the difference between essay type questions and short answer questions? If you're thinking it's just the length, then trust me, there's no difference. Tests are multiple choice questions followed by essay/short answer questions which are basically pages upon pages of you trying to regurgitate everything you memorized from one book or another.

On a test of about 16 questions, two of them might ask you to enlist/enumerate something, otherwise it's all a long descriptive process for the rest.
