"essay questions", as opposed to "multiple-choice questions", require
you to state your answer rather than select it from a list of
alternatives.

The answer does not have to be extensive. Specifically, you should
answer the question completely and avoid writing irrelevant
information.

When grading, I will not take into account the parts of your answer
that were not specifically asked for in the question (since it is not
fair to other students who answered the question precisely). However,
I will take off points for an incomplete answer.

So the advice is, to read the exam question carefully and answer it to
the point.


Thanks,
