If you are using a word processor, there should be a facility to do it. In Microsoft Word, use the "Word Count" option on the "Tools" menu.
An essay that is written on exact or any topic should have a high word count. Once an essay is complete then the word count can be computed by most word processing document. Without a specific essay to review there is no exact word count.
What words do not count on an essay?
Quotations should count as part of your total word count. However, if it's obvious that you added a lot of quotes to your essay so that you wouldn't have to do much original writing, then you're probably not going to get away with it. Use a reasonable amount of quotation, and only quote things that are really necessary to quote--for example, if an author said something so wisely or humorously or creatively that it adds sparkle to your essay, or if you want to quote an authority to support your arguments.
To count words in an APA essay, you can use the word count feature in your word processing software like Microsoft Word. Simply select the text of your essay and the word count should be displayed. Make sure to follow APA guidelines for formatting your essay.

A 1000-word essay is typically about 4 pages if double-spaced and around 2 pages if single-spaced, using a standard font and margins.
To focus is to keep to the purpose of writing the essay in the first place. Avoid elaboration, waffling on, make every word count or get rid of it.
