Frequently Asked Questions
The Analytical Writing section consists of two essays: the Analyze an Issue task and the Analyze an Argument task. Each essay is scored on a scale of 0-6, and your combined score is reported as a single 0-6 rating. This section evaluates your ability to articulate complex ideas, support arguments with relevant examples, and identify logical flaws—skills that graduate programs view as essential for academic success.
You have 30 minutes for each essay. A strong approach is to spend 3-5 minutes planning your response, 20-22 minutes writing, and 2-3 minutes reviewing for clarity and errors. Many test-takers struggle with pacing, so practicing under timed conditions is crucial to building confidence and developing a rhythm that works for you.
Students often lose points by failing to address the prompt directly, providing weak or unsupported examples, and making careless grammar and syntax errors. Another frequent issue is spending too much time planning or drafting, which leaves insufficient time for revision. Tutors can help you identify your specific patterns and develop targeted strategies to address them.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment to practice. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the 0-6 scale—within 4-8 weeks of focused instruction and regular practice. The key is understanding the scoring rubric, analyzing sample essays, and receiving detailed feedback on your own writing before test day.
Practice tests are essential because they simulate test conditions and help you identify which essay types challenge you most. Taking full-length practice tests allows you to work on pacing, manage test anxiety, and get accustomed to writing under pressure. Most students benefit from completing at least 4-6 full practice essays under timed conditions before test day.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in GRE preparation and have deep knowledge of the Analytical Writing section. When you connect with a tutor, you can discuss your current score, target score, and specific weaknesses—whether that's crafting strong thesis statements, building logical arguments, or managing time effectively.
The Issue essay asks you to take a position on a statement and defend it with examples, while the Argument essay requires you to identify logical flaws in someone else's reasoning without stating your own opinion. Preparation for each involves different skills: Issue essays demand strong examples and clear positioning, while Argument essays require critical thinking and the ability to spot assumptions and weak evidence. Tutors can teach you templates and strategies specific to each format.
Your tutor will likely assess your current writing level by having you complete a timed practice essay, then review it to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. You'll discuss your target score, timeline, and any specific concerns—like grammar, idea development, or time management. From there, your tutor will create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs.
