Hi!

I'm nervous enough about the quantitative and verbal part, but I want to know how the analytical writing parts will affect the score.

Thank You.

The AWA isn't factored into your combined Verbal and Quant score. Your AWA is a separate score that is on a scale from 0 to 6. As long as you score a 4 or over you should be fine.

The AWA section does not change your total numerical Q/V score at all. If you get a Q 50 V 50 you will get an ~800 whether your AWA is a 1 or a 6.

However, you get a separate score for your AWA on the 1-6 scale. It doesn't count for much at all in admissions unless you are a non-native speaker.

Don't stop believin'...

"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."
