hi guys,

I am really having trouble with writing under stressful time.

I am a picky writer. It takes me only 3- 4 minutes to write an outline. But it takes me at least 10 minutes to write one paragraph. My only problem is I like to reread every sentence I wrote and rewrite it right after it.

What should I do? I won't be able to finish it within 30 minutes. Are there other advices? My only target for AWA is 4. I will be very happy with a grade above 4.

The good news is that you don't have to be a great or thorough writer to do well on the AWAs--just structure your essays well and have an okay argument and you'll be fine.

Have you had a chance to check out the GMAT Resource Wiki, https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/ ? There are some great AWA resources there.

Best of luck! Do some practice a few weeks prior to your test, work on your timing, and you'll be just fine.

"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."
