AWA strategy

AWA is something that is largely neglected and taken for granted by most GMAT takers. This is because there is no set benchmark on what a good AWA score is and which school takes what or whether a school even puts a value to it. Most websites publish avg. GMAT scores which are for quant and verbal.

Most GMAT takers reserve last few days for AWA preparation. The normal strategy most aspirants take is to read a few samples and then go for the GMAT. But beware, this might lead to you getting an AWA score of less than 4 , which is not considered good by almost all B schools and hence can be one of the major reasons of rejection.

We propose the following strategy:

1) Read a few sample of both Analysis of an argument and analysis of an issue

2) Download free templates of these to get an idea of structure

3) Write a couple of arguments and issue questions to get a hold. Get these evaluated from an expert or an automated tool.

4) Repeat step 3 to see improvement.

5) Take a full length test to see whether you score equally well under pressure conditions.
