AWA: Time to be spent

by rkhicha » Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:07 pm
Hey guys,

D-day is close for me. To be exact, its on 15th September.

Have read 'tales' of a few test-takers who aimed to complete the Analysis of Issue / Argument in under 15 minutes.

I was wondering, How much time should you ideally be spending on the AWA section on test day?

Thanks. :)

Spend the full time, but do it in a relaxed state of mind. Here is a suggested breakdown:

5 minutes: think about the essay
20 minutes: write it up
5 minutes: review

If you get done sooner, good for you. Key is to save up mental energy to last the entire ~4 hours.
