tips for AWA

I have the most horrible time writing essays for the AWA section of the GMAT. My biggest problem seems to be coming up with supporting examples for analysis of an issue topic. I completely blank on this section and feel like the examples i come up with are weak. (Thing is, I read quite a bit and up to date on current affairs) Has anyone else run into this issue?

Does anyone have any tips and/or suggestions on what i can practise to get better and coming up with supporting evidence really quickly?

THanks in advance!

One solution is to "fudge" your examples to fit the situation. Don't flat out make things up, but it's okay to adapt the facts to your situation. I've had plenty of former students do this and score 6.0 on their essays.

"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."
