Hi Ujjaval,
Our guides come with 6 CATs - not 5 - did you by any chance already complete the Free Practice Test found on our website and are just not counting it?
In any case, though, the 6 CAT exams that come with our Strategy Guides are exclusive to Manhattan GMAT and are graded based on a computer algorithm that we tried to match up with the GMAT's real algorithm as closely as possible.
The AWA, however, is not graded by a person at the company. Instead, we tell students that they would benefit more from
purchasing a copy of GMAT Write from mba.com. GMAT Write uses the same essay grading algorithm found on the GMAT and will always be more accurate in determining your real score than a human grader.
For 9-Session Course students, a copy of GMAT Write comes with the course, but if you are studying only using the books, then you would have to pay $30 for the software, an investment well worth the money if you are concerned about your performance on the AWA on test day.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Michael Dinerstein
