There's no such limit set up for length of SOP
but 1 and a half is perfect I think.
Try to make It brief and effective .. that's what I did and my consultant told me.

I've had my sop reviewed from very respected members of this forum and i can summarize the answer you are looking for in few sentences:

1. make it short and to the point. as one user above me also stated, 1-1.5 pages is more than enough.
2. make sure to keep the tone of language positive throughout with no mention of any kind of negativity.
3. set the font to (times new roman) and font size to 12 with spacing of 1.5
4. it should give strong justification for the chosen course and how it would help you in future.
5. you can also add a line if you want to that xyz sponsored you.

In short, keep it precise and to the point... no lengthy explanations, free of grammatical errors, positive theme. also get it reviewed and edited from a lot of people you trust and who you think can BETTER advice you and never post it here on the forum.

MOST IMPORTANT - WRITE IT YOURSELF! NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AND YOUR STORY SO DONT FIT YOUR NAME INTO A READY MADE ONE. PUT EFFORT INTO IT.

hope it helps.
