Hi veeral,
While there are a number of resources that are packed with solid strategies and content, it's really up to you to determine what is helping you most. That being said, are you looking for test prep material for the AWA, or are you looking to supplement your prep with some additional outside reading?
Best,

Hi veeral,
The AWA grading scale is well-established and there are plenty of free resources online to help you practice (including prompts, sample essays, etc.), so you won't have to purchase a separate book to help you prepare for the AWA.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I'll second what Rich said. You can find a pdf with most of the potential prompts you could see here: https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gma ... ument.aspx
If you're interested, we have a free set of videos covering the topic of AWA: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... assessment
