If you're worried about your AWA, you can pay for GMAT Write on MBA.com. This gives you access to a couple of essays that are computer-scored using the exact same algorithm used by the GMAT. I think the AWA templates help a lot because I got a 6 when I tried applying them.

sorry, you are referring to the templates discussed in these forums right? not the mba.com service?

To add to that, I was able to download BTG flash cards app on mine, those come in handy too.. Good Luck!!

Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Actually, I think I looked at templates on PlatinumGMAT.com, but I think they're pretty much the same thing. GMAT Write is just an online thing you pay for that will let you know your actual AWA score. I just mention it because it'll let you know where you stand if you're concerned.

My quant barely touches 45, and when I review most of the mistakes I make are sheer carelessness, I being the impatient person I am, skip steps in calculations and of course end up getting them wrong.. Do share your test experience here!!
Good Luck!

thanks!

I guess I will:
1) go through the questions i have answered wrongly before and thankfully saved screenshots of
2) see if i starred any of the og ques i did manage to try
3) memorize awa template (again, i am less worried about organizing and style than i am about the content of AoI)
4) revise SC rules
5) try to get a decent sleep

"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."
