Do the AWA with all your practice tests. Think of it as an endurance exercise, since you'll need to get used to maintaining your focus with this annoying section at the beginning of your GMAT.

It's worth the practice.

I agree - do the essays on every test. There is a HUGE difference between starting fresh with the math and already having done an hour of frantic essay writing. Practice tests are there to measure how you will perform in an actual test setting, so make them as accurate as possible: do the essays!

"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."
