Dear mba.com registrant:

Are you prepared for the Analytical Writing Assessment part of the GMAT(R) exam? We can help!

Try our brand new GMAT Write(TM) tool - a web-based, essay-writing practice instrument developed by Vantage Learning in partnership with the Graduate Management Admission Council(R) (the creators of the GMAT exam).

Using past, official GMAT essay questions not available anywhere else, this online study tool gives you immediate insight on your writing strengths and weaknesses.

When you complete a GMAT Write essay, you will receive a score in real time with the same automated essay-scoring engine used by the official GMAT exam and feedback on how well you-

- Identified and analyzed significant flaws in the argument.
- Supported your critique with relevant reasons and/or examples.
- Developed a clearly organized and coherent response.
- Demonstrated control of language, including diction, syntax, and conventions of standard written English.

Each practice essay will be scored in real time with the same automated essay-scoring engine used by the official GMAT exam.

Best wishes for your success,

The mba.com team

I thought that the essays were hand-marked by GMAT and that was the reason why the assessment of the essays took up to 10 days. I did not know that they used an automated tool to assess our essays.

Hmmm.... :?:

Essays are graded by a computer and one human grader - the scores of the two are averaged.

If those scores differ by more than one point (which only happens a tiny percentage of the time), a third human grader is brought in to resolve the discrepancy.

Also, I believe that a different human reads your argument and issue essays.

Does Vantage have only Two Essays or are there more as well?

Hi All,
I have purchased and practiced with the GMAT Write1 and Write2 practice essays with Vantage. My question is can I do more practice with the e-Rater or will I be getting the SAME essays again?

THanks,
My exam is on Jan 3 so a reply today or tomorrow will be appreciated.
