Scoring Well on the AWA, Sponsored by Manhattan GMAT

Today we address the Analytical Writing Assessment ("AWA") portion of the GMAT, otherwise known as the essays.  Because they do not feed into the overall score out of 800 (they are scored separately, on a scale of 6 points), they are often neglected.  They do serve a purpose, though, and you need to take them seriously, even if they do not warrant the bulk of your study time.  There are two types of essays you will need to complete: "Analysis of Issue" and "Analysis of Argument."  They demand different approaches and need to be understood in their particularities. Read more to find out everything you need to know about the AWA.
