Hello Smallfish - I have placed all resources at the link - http://www.freewebs.com/crk/GMATresource.html At the very bottom of the page, you will find AWA templates. It has both Issue and Arguement templates. I hope this helps, Regards, Mani

Just recvd my AWA score....Scored 6.0 The issue question for me was tricky and was thinking that I might screw up. The topic was so delicately put, it was hard to describe your own views effectively in time given. Official Score - Verbal - 35/76% Quant - 49/90% Total - 700/93% AWA - 6.0/96%

Thanks Vijay for wishes. Currently, I am thinking about Kelley - Bloomington, which is close to me. Not sure if I want to pursue full time. Do you have any idea on which schools I would be able to apply and get admit based on this score? I have about 5 years of experience in Mech Engineering industry along with BS\MS in Mech Engineering.

Hello All - Apologize for late reply. I had several things lined up that I needed to take care of after this test. I have tried to put together as much as I can here. This Blog has all things and I have tried to keep format same as earlier deBriefs by renowned TM members. Here you go.... http://www.freewebs.com/crk/karyekar_blogs.html I have listed the all resources that I have used or created that you might want to dowload. Here is link - http://www.freewebs.com/crk/GMATresource.html Once again, thanks to all of you for helping me out on GMAT. I would try to respond to your questions as soon as I can. Please feel free to post your questions on the forum. I have few more things to say but I would write those down later.

Hello All - Thank you all for helping me out during prep stage for GMAT. Scored 700 (Q49,V35). I cannot complain regarding the score. It could have been little more than this had I not screwed up in the time left for V questions. I solved almost 15 questions with 20 minutes left. But, inspite of that, I am happy with what I got. 700 considering the fact that I work full time is a good score. I will write more as I settle down from enthusiasm of getting over the hump. Thanks to several Testmagic members for good explanations and advice provided here. Thanks indeed to Erin for maintaining this database. This is a crucial factor in my score. I will write detailed debrief later. Thanks again, Mani

Answer is E.

Just as ....so is idiomatic. they in later part of sentence makes you choose from options - A. B or C. Of these 3, only B is good to use. Hence, B

Menoman - Great score. Congrtulations !!! Mani

OA is A. I was wondering why C would not be a choice - considering anamolies - plural. Any comments on this guys?

It was anamolies in the orbit of Uranus that led to the discovery of Neptune. A)... B) it was the orbit of Uranus showing anamolies that C) They were anamolies in the orbit of Uranus that D) The orbit of Uranus being analolies was what E) The anamolies in the orbit of Uranus was what What do you think guys...This one is giving me tough time .!!!! I cannot follow this one.

What is OA? I am in for A.

OA is E. Why would C is less related than E?

Shud - How about C? I thought C has which with "include" and nouns in the form of establishment\the closing etc. Thanks, Mani

Answer E

I would choose B. But this problem has confusing wording of A. If I treat that as - Two-thirds of "the total number of bottles (say N) " (which are) of type juice T in stock were sold on Monday. In that case, 1/3 of total bottles are type S. 2/3 are T type. Indicating S are fewer than T --> A and B can answer --> option D
