Hello, everyone! Recently, I took a practice GRE exam—which, of course, involves two AWA essays (one issue task and one argument task.) I wanted these essays to be reviewed by someone who would be relatively unbiased so that I can have an idea of how I might be able to improve upon my writing for the GRE. Would anyone mind looking over these essays for me and giving me your comments as well as, possibly, the score you would estimate each essay to receive? The prompts for each essay are included at the top of each essay's respective page without the italicized directions, since I figure most people will know what each essay is intended to accomplish. Also, you can find the prompts for each essay from the practice book "GRE Prep by Magoosh", which is available on Amazon (I highly suggest this book, as it has greatly helped me so far!)

Hello all, Feeling good to be a part of www.urch.community. Wrote GRE general test two times but the AWA score never went up above 3. I am looking for help from someone to evaluate my essays. Thank you

My GRE exam is on 20th August, still I am not confident about awa and facing hard times how to improve it. here i have attached 2 essays from my power prep 1 test. It would be so helpful if someone could give me valuable suggestion about how to focus on the topic, improve writing by adding some skills and what points I am missing in the writings. Also If I write essays like this level what score in AWA I am supposed to get? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Essay: 1. What do you consider to be the most important room in a house? Why is this room more important to you than any other room? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. 355 WORDS The most important room of the house, it doesn’t have to be the most furnished nor the most spacious one. In many cases, it’s just that space where you can picture yourself all day long without suffering loneliness or boredom. For instance, teenagers love their own rooms exactly for that reason, yet preferences change among with each stage of the life. I loved my bedroom during my whole youth-hood; but that environment doesn’t portray anymore my personality and needs. Hence, the living room recently began my best-friend. It’s the space that holds my thoughts and ideas during my studying time. Moreover, it welcomes my friends and loved ones all around. Sun is vital and a source of joy and happiness. I guess that is why I love staying in my living room so much. The space is surrounded by multiple windows which drive the light inside for all day long. Thus, artificial light is not required as long as the sun is up and my body system gets benefits from that incredible amount of natural light. Its brightness allows me to pursue my studies with a major sense of cheerfulness and serenity. “Everybody needs somebody to…party with!” A life is not utterly complete in absence of friendships with who share moments of your life. Consequently, reunions, parties and potlucks are always welcome at my place. The living room is the space I love to share with everyone, where I hold intimate or major events, where most of my daily hours revolve around too. Other than being a spacious, welcoming and comfortable room, the living room is so important to me because it garners all my main memories. In short, the living room has a sentimental attachment that goes beyond its aesthetic and pieces of furniture. In conclusion, everyone belongs to a room in the house and this link may change with each single individual age. Surely, the most important room is where you spend most of your time, where you relax or run into just to find comfort and memories. I, personally, meet all these emotions and characteristics in my living room. What’s yours? I just finished to write this Essay - Once again, I took around 40' - ergo, I surely need to master my timing skills. While you read my essay, please, take sometime to share your opinion/suggestions. I like the concept to give ideas, share my work, yet I'd like to have an actual fruitful discussion about it, broaden my skills. In other words, we need each other to improve and reach our goal! Thanks.:eager:

Just read about wordprom.com on Poets & Quants and Businessweek. I am applying to several schools round 1. I downloaded a few essays per each question only to see if I am in the right direction. The essays were very inspiring. I won't need as many hours of consulting services as I thought I would. I recommend all of you who are using consulting services to checkou the site!
