PDF resource/guide for the AWA task.

A good guide to the AWA task can be found here:

http://www.64168.com/bbs/uploads/Adm...reAWAGuide.pdf

Download it and give it a good reading. Lots of great tips.

However, a word of caution; it is doubful whether the ETS people use the E-rater. Humans do the checking, not computers.

Re: PDF resource/guide for the AWA task.

Hi dingus,
What is this hype about the E-rater? I thought that only GMAT essays were rated by erater. Do you know whether they allow test takers to write essays on paper? If no, maybe they use E-rater otherwise it seems not possible for them to use E-rater

Re: PDF resource/guide for the AWA task.

Hi, Dingus!
Great thanks for the extremely useful guide.
but it is for GMAT actually that's why i have a question if GRE and GMAT AWA are interchangeable?
May i use all GMAT AWA strategies for GRE AWA?

Hey pet_ra! (pet_ra?!! I always thought ra was a mighty and fiery lord...oh well. )

Yes you can. For a simplified approach to the argument task of the GRE, you might want to have a look at these steps I posted. They might simplify the analysis a bit.
http://www.urch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15267 (Best way of approaching AWA???)

For the perspective essay, give http://www.aldaily.com a general reading. Follow about ten links from there everyday and read the articles/essays/book reviews. You might get hold of a lot of ideas on common issues. They will also help in finding those crucial examples you will need to make your essay stronger.

Cheers and good luck!
Dingus
