How to prepare the GMAT writing for Issue and Argument? my goal is 5.5 and my first language is not english.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Use a template!! The templates are different for issue and argument. I used the templates from the Princeton Review and scored a 6.0. Also, you can go on the MBA.com website and find a list of topics that have been used. The Princeton Review website also has software (for a small price) that will score your essays to help you guage your ability. Essays are judged primarily by length, and secondly by organization. The actual novelty of your ideas does not matter as much.

Thanks IVY_MBA! I will have to make sure I write enough and organize my essays during the exam. Throw in a couple of "useless" sentences maybe....hehehe
