Hi all,

Can somebody cite some good resource to find answers to official awa questions. I wanted to read some good essays and wanted to weigh my ideas against them.

And yes, cite resource apart from google

I was thinking if there is a post where someone has collected all the essays, or if there is any book available from any tutorials.

Thanks

If you want to see how you'll really score, try GMAT Write (available on MBA.com). I bought it just so that I could see if my score was where it needed to be or whether I need to work on it. It's $30 and uses the exact same algorithm to score your essay as does the real GMAT.

I found this link to be very helpful.

The AWA might as well be a pass/fail grade. If you are a native English speaker, get a 5 and you will be fine. If you are not, then shoot for a 4. Anything below a 4 raises red flags.

The difference between scoring a 5 and scoring a 6 is negligable in terms of the admissions process. Just follow the basic formula given in the above link and you will be fine.

I scored a 5.5 on mine following this formula. Make sure you proofread (give yourself 5 minutes to do so) and that you realize that writing more, in the case of the AWA, is better. Good luck!

"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."
