in an exam list the facts first, then give some examples. make sure you are answering the question, otherwise you are going to use exam time to write bull and not get full credit for it.

No, make your writing as clear and concise as possible. Doing so will convey a command of the topic. Be thorough but not too wordy. Remember teachers have to take time to read your answers and students who do not know their topic often ramble on, wasting the teachers time, simply hoping to snag keywords rather than show a thorough understanding of the topic. Give supporting details not superlative details.

Facts and truth are more important than length.
You do not need four pages to write your name. So an answer can only contain what is pertinent to the question. The examiner may think you are guessing if you blabber on with empty sentences, just like you do not add explanations to multiple choice answers.

I actually think the longer the answer, sometimes the worse it is. Professors dont like to see BS answers that are all just filler. I find answering the question straightforward is pretty good but that doesn't mean dont put all the relative information... You usually need to support your answer well, but dont keep restating the same things because then it will be obvious your just trying to add length.

It all depends on the teacher, In my own experience some teachers are very impressed with long answers. However, to some it doesn't matter. Try and come up with examples on the subject, it adds length. I say it never hurts to try.

I'm a teacher, and I don't like it when my students write a lot. I want them to answer the question and that's it.
On the other hand, I know one of my colleagues like long stories, so I guess it depends on the teacher.

It's not hoe long you write, It's the content. If you have a lot of realevant content then you will write for a long time. The examiner just wants to know if you have a grasp for the material. good luck.

I am a PhD student and professors almost always like longer answers - just dont write BS.

just answer the question. give the facts, embellish when needed and stretch your answers if the teacher likes the long answers, but make sure you get the answer right, sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot by trying to give to much info.
