You can but it's inadvisable. There are two dangers with rhetorical questions: 1) The reader won't respond the way you want them to. You have very little space in an AWA, it's not smart to ask a question when you don't have a lot of time to convince them of your position. You could ask, "Did th...

I hate to burst your bubble (really) but not doing the AWAs may account for the dramatic jump in scores in the last couple tests. It's not that writing the AWA actually provides substantial value, it's just that stamina wise, you're in a very different place when you're doing the Q and V portion. En...

I worked with a PR tutor, but once I finished the PR CATs, I bought the 6 MGMAT CATs. He mentioned to me a few times while we were going over our practice tests that something seemed off about the scoring on MGMAT tests. Often, I would get a 500-600 question right and jump up to a 700-800 question. ...

Agree with the above. I didn't write much for AWA, and didn't have much scratch work for verbal either. For data sufficiency I used the A D / B C E method taught by the Princeton Review, and I used the board to scribble for that. For PS, obviously I used the board to work out problems.

I'm sorry things didn't go better. Now you just have a chance to do better next time. Definitely don't do this - I should have listened to all the advice regarding cramming right before the test because by the time I took the test I was a complete zombie and couldn't retain zilch, especially during ...

@myhomy: It's possible, with Kaplan. I even got a 55 once. That being said, I think the original poster meant to say "mid 40s". That's so interesting -- I've never heard of that. I took a GMATPrep before my test and got 0 questions wrong on V and still got a 51. I wonder why Kaplan would ...

Unfortunately, there's no way to go back to the score page. It is (I think) a significant flaw in the software.
