Essay

The Analytical Writing Assessment or AWA is composed of two parts:
"Analysis of an Issue"
"Analysis of an Argument."

In each part, you will have 30 minutes to write a persuasive essay arguing a position on the topics the computer provides for you. You will type these essays using a simple word-processing program on the same computer on which you will take the computer-adaptive GMAT.

HOW THE WRITING ASSESSMENT IS SCORED
CAT states that a 6-level essay demonstrates the following characteristics:

• Explores ideas and develops a position on the issue with insightful reasons and/or examples.
• Is clearly well written.
• Demonstrates superior control of language, including diction and syntactic variety.
• Demonstrates superior facility with the conventions (grammar, usage, and mechanics) of standard written English but may have minor flaws.

CAT makes sure that every essay is read at least twice. The graduate students that CAT employs to read through the essays the first time will be reading several hundred essays on exactly the same topic, devoting two minutes at most to each essay. And yes, you can safely assume that they will be heavily buzzed on caffeine to get through it all. The second reader wall take even less time, and may literally be buzzing, because the second reader is a computer. CAT employs a specially designed computer program to scan your essay and give it a score based on predetermined criteria. If the computer and the initial human reader disagree, another human reader will be called in to arbitrate.

So what does all this mean? First of all, it means that your literary genius will not be discovered here, so you can cross that off your list of goals. Second, it means that you can substantially improve your chances of getting the score you want by writing for your audience. A dazed human reading very fast and a computer reading very, very fast are going to look for similar things: organization, logical points, and good syntax.
