Pronoun in Reference to Author...?

Howdy all.

I'm preparing to take the exam in a couple days and was thinking about the Analysis of an Argument essay. If I wanted to refer to the author and wanted to use a pronoun, what should I use?

Example:

"The author's assertion..."

"His assertion..." "Her assertion..."?

Does it matter? One can only read/write "The author" so many times before getting tired of the term. GMAT 800 refers to the the general GMAT taker as "she"...

Do you have an opinion?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
