Just got my AWA score and found that I did pretty good since I got 6.0. I prepared for last two days and focussed on building templates in advance. The intent was to not think about the structure in the test and just worry about the point of analysis or argument.

Furthermore, ..........another flaw and how to fix it
In sum, argument fails to convince ...state conclusion.... Now sum up all the ways the argument can be strengthened.
