Analytical Writing

Chapter 6: Strategies for GRE Writing

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Analytical Writing Measure consists of two timed essay sections. The first is what (ETS) calls an “Issue” essay: You’ll be shown two essay topics—each a sentence or paragraph that expresses an opinion on an issue of general interest. You must choose one of the two topics. You then have 45 minutes to plan and write an essay that communicates your own view on the issue. Whether you agree or disagree with the opinion on the screen is irrelevant: What matters is that you support your view with relevant examples and statements.

The second of the two writing tasks is the “Argument” essay. This time, you will be shown a paragraph that argues a certain point. You will then be given 30 minutes to assess that argument’s logic. As with the “Issue” essay, it won’t matter whether you agree with what you see on the screen.
