![]() ![]() Agreed from the admissions point of view, a difference of 0.5 – 1 point on the GRE Essay doesn’t make or break your chances of getting into your dream school. Yes, the essays are not part of your total GRE score and are instead scored on a separate scale out of 6.0 in increment of 0.5. You probably think that the GRE essay section is not nearly as consequential as the other sections. But, many of you underestimate its importance. If you aren’t new to the GRE format, you’d probably know that the GRE begins with the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) or the GRE Essay section. And if you finish writing your first essay in 20 minutes, you don’t get 40 minutes for the second essay. The AWA section involves two essays, and you get 30 minutes for each essay. I want to address some common confusion about the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion of the GRE exam. I’m not talking about the importance of language or coherence or logic but the importance of the first ever section that you are going to face on test day. ![]() It holds a lot more importance than you think. No. But hang on for a second because the GRE essay is more than just a score. ![]() Well, a perfect score on the GRE Essay section would need knowledge of obscure vocabulary, impeccable writing skills, and torrents of practice. The GRE Essay section sounds a bit intimidating, right? ![]()
