Very good book

This book is an excellent resource to help prepare for the GRE. The samples are well-written and relatable. I can envision high school and college students using this book as a study guide to sharpen his or her writing skills and vocabulary knowledge.

I bought this book late August of 2019 to help prepare me for my GRE that I ended up taking on November 3rd of 2019. At the time, I had just graduated from college in May and needed to take the analytical writing portion of the GRE to apply to my first choice program for grad school. Since I had already graduated, I was alone in a sense that I had no professors or writing center to help me prep for the written portion. I went in totally blind, except for this book.

I "studied" for the GRE by going through this whole book twice. The first time I wanted to just familiarize myself with the material such as what is expected from me and how to answer the essay prompts correctly. The second time I went through the book, I jotted down some notes alongside the essays. I was anxious about whether or not this study method was useful, but I figured that studying this book was better than nothing.

The day that I took my test I felt prepared. I finished the analytical portion first and I just knew that I got a good score. I would not see my score until maybe 1-2 weeks later. I got a 5.0. I successfully fulfilled requirements for the grad program and got accepted a few weeks ago, but I felt like me getting a 5.0 on the GRE was the cherry on top to my application. Because I got a good score, I will not have to take the mandatory supplemental writing test that the grad students have to take.

This book made it so easy for me to study while I had a full time job and other life obligations. I like that the essays are mostly great examples that illustrate the proper way to answer every part of the prompt. They cover a variety of topics that helps you hone in on a general range of facts that would be useful in your writer's toolbox to whip out to strengthen your essay. For example, the book mentioned that a writer should have general knowledge on a few different fields such as politics, science and the arts because any useful tidbit of knowledge or quote would work well as examples in the essays. There's also notes breaking down the process of multiple sides of an argument and how to elaborate on your side of the argument. This book prepared me far better than I thought it would and I am glad it did. If you need to study for the writing portion of the GRE, I highly suggest you purchase this book as a study tool.

As I expected

Writing can be spontaneous or creative which is a regular flow of thoughts using coherent sentences and grammar. Somehow this kind of writing is not the subject of the test in many exams like GRE. So first you need to look through the scoring guide on how issue and argument tasks for GRE are prepared. Then I would suggest that you come back and test yourself to see where you stand.
You can be the best judge of your abilities. Even if you cheat, you are well aware that your scores won’t stand the actual test. This book tells you about two different kinds of prompts which are used in this exam. The test requires you to follow specific directions. For issues, you have to take a position (maybe for or against) in the second case for an argument, you have to determine merits and demerits.
Remember that in a test you have a limited amount of time. So if you have not prepared well beforehand, you are bound to lose. Hence this kind of test guide comes in handy. You will also find expert recommendations in this book. Do keep in mind that these are just suggestions and it is not essential to follow each and every one of them.
As the number of samples is quite enough (30 for Analyze an Issue, and 30 for Analyze an Argument) by the time you have completed the book you will understand fairly well if you can complete the test in time. This is just one part of the test and you will have to keep in mind that you can’t devote all your time to just one section. I would recommend practicing from this and using it as a workbook.

Very helpful for GRE analytical writing samples.

Before delivery date only arrived..gud 1 latest one

5 gold stars!

The official list of GRE AWA topics has many topics with different instructions. I had practised writing on a few topics but was never able to understand how to follow the exact instruction they give and develop my essay based on that instruction only. This book came to my rescue. It has covered topics with all different instructions and explained clearly how to go about writing essays for the specific instructions. Reading through the 60 topics, unambiguous, well reasoned and sound strategies and straightforward, to the point and coherent essays made my prep complete.

Plenty of information and strategies for the GRE analytical writing section, 30 Issue topics with steps to take towards writing each essay, sample essays, 30 Argument topics with pre-essay writing strategies, again sample essays. Simple language, clear guidelines, persuasive essays. Do we need anything more for a Perfect score!

Good!

Done reading this book, the strategies are crisp and clear. Must say the book has much more than what is mentioned on its cover. A big help for the AWA section!

Great book to help prepare for the GRE essays!! Very helpful strategies and the essays are also detailed. I have read through only few topics yet but will definitely read through all of them. If I get the time to read all the 60 Issues and Arguments, there'll be no looking back. I am glad I made this purchase.

Good book. Each topic is followed by multiple pointers to help you construct the essay. A sample essay is also provided for reference. But what I liked the most about the book is they covered over sixty writing topics. Great for practice.

Really helpful

Must-have book for all GRE exam takers.

Nice book, Exactly what I was looking for the AWA section for the test.
