In the past, I have revised many essays. Most of the revisions consisted of simple gramatic errors, though sentence structure and symmetry is considered. Since high school, every essay I have had to write was length intensive. Writing a short essay is difficult when you have a lot to say.
Revision should start with re-reading and asking yourself, how can I make this sound better?
If it doesn't sound good to you, it won't to the reader. Sometimes it helps to have someone else read over what you wrote. Their voice is different than yours.
Revise until you are satisfied, not until it is perfect. It's never perfect.
