Frequently Asked Questions
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is one of four sections on the GMAT, requiring you to analyze an argument and write a critique within 30 minutes. While it's scored separately on a 0-6 scale (not factored into your overall 200-800 score), business schools still review it carefully as evidence of your critical thinking and communication skills—especially important for MBA programs in the Seattle area.
Most students struggle with time management, trying to plan, write, and proofread a coherent essay in just 30 minutes. Others find it difficult to identify logical fallacies in the argument or organize their critique clearly without rambling. Many also underestimate how important structure and conciseness are—the AWA rewards focused, well-organized responses, not lengthy ones.
Most students see meaningful improvement (0.5 to 1.5 points) within 4-8 weeks of focused practice, especially when working with a tutor who can identify your specific weaknesses—whether that's argument analysis, essay structure, or pacing. Consistent practice with real GMAT prompts and targeted feedback on your drafts is key; improvement depends more on deliberate practice than raw study hours.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who will teach you a reliable framework for analyzing arguments, help you practice timed essays, and provide detailed feedback on your writing. Your tutor will identify patterns in your mistakes—whether you're missing certain types of logical fallacies or struggling with time allocation—and give you strategies to address them before test day.
Start by practicing untimed essays to master the argument analysis framework and essay structure, then gradually add time pressure until you can write a solid response in 30 minutes. Use official GMAT prompts exclusively, and after each practice essay, review it with your tutor to understand what worked and what didn't. Aim for 15-20 timed practice essays before test day—quality feedback matters far more than quantity.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in GMAT prep and the Analytical Writing Assessment. You'll work with someone experienced in helping Seattle-area students improve their writing scores and gain confidence on test day, with flexible scheduling that fits your timeline before your GMAT exam.
A strong AWA essay follows a simple formula: introduction (restate the argument and identify its main flaws), 2-3 body paragraphs (each attacking one logical fallacy or unsupported assumption), and a brief conclusion. This structure keeps you organized and ensures you're making clear, specific critiques rather than vague observations—exactly what GMAT graders reward.
Allocate roughly 5 minutes to read and analyze the argument, 20 minutes to write your essay, and 5 minutes to proofread. Many students spend too long planning or writing; your tutor can help you develop a faster analysis process so you identify the key logical flaws immediately and draft your response efficiently without sacrificing quality.
