    Clean Writing means leaving yourself time to proofread.
    Things you Might Notice:
    • Typos
    • Missing full stops and commas
    • Repetition of a thought or phrase
    • Missing words
    • Repeated words
    • Swapped words
    Score 5: Strong
    In addressing the specific task directions, a 5 response presents a generally thoughtful, well-developed analysis of the issue and conveys meaning clearly.
    A typical response in this category:
     presents a clear and well-considered position on the issue in accordance with the assigned task
     develops the position with logically sound reasons and/or well-chosen examples
     is focused and generally well organized, connecting ideas appropriately
     conveys ideas clearly and well, using appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety
     demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English, but may have minor errors
    The AWA tips and techniques contained in this video can help assure at least a score of 5 and can push your score towards 5.5 or 6. They apply both to analyse an issue questions and analyse an argument essay questions.
    The AWA strategy outlined was used by me to get 6 and 5.5 respectively for the GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment and GRE Analytical Writing Assessment. AWA time management is of course, crucial, and following this AWA advice can really help.

      Hi Philip. ... how can I develop these two ideas? I have two month before I sit for the gre exam. I have an average of 4 hours/day of study time. I think my typing speed is about 40 w/min and my accuracy is not good. What do you suggest I do over these two months to get a decent verbal and awa score? I have been watching your video with passion and I thank you for the gains I'm making from these videos.

    Proofreading is a great piece of advice. However, I often find myself with insufficient time to express my ideas. Even if I devote all the 30 minutes to writing the GRE issue, I can only write about 500 words. Do you think word count matters in GRE issue? Or do you have any advice on how to improve the speed of writing?

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  4 года назад +4

      Word maximisation is good, but 500 words should be fine. Practice is one answer. Time yourself and try to push to 600 quality words.
