Hey Guys, Just wanted to share that I got a whooping 5.5 in the AWA's, that too without any sort of preparation.

Just use MYOMHY's template(https://www.beatthegmat.com/argument-ess ... 38032.html) for a couple of hours and you'll get a good hold of it. I don't think for someone who is cramped for time(I had just over a month), studying the list of AWA topics is a good idea. Nor should people stress too much for the AWA during the GMAT exam.

I used the 60 minutes of AWA to mentally prepare myself for the coming quant section. I finished both AWA's 5-6 minutes in advance and then removed my eyes from the screen and looked around to relieve my eyes. It would not be wise to press the finish button in the 25th minute of ur AWA section. Also raise your hand for the invigilator to come to you before pressing the finish button if possible. This might give u a crucial few extra seconds of break before quant.
(NOTE : You don't have a watch to see the time so any extra time you add to your breaks is a boon).
Cheers !!

Quant 47-Striving for 50
Verbal 34-Striving for 40
