Frequently Asked Questions
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is a 30-minute essay section of the GMAT where you analyze an argument presented in a prompt. While it's scored separately from your overall GMAT score (on a 0-6 scale), many business schools consider it an important indicator of your communication and critical thinking skills. Strong AWA performance can strengthen your MBA application, especially if your verbal score is borderline.
Most students struggle with time management—you have only 30 minutes to read the argument, identify logical flaws, plan your essay, and write a complete response. Others find it difficult to spot weaknesses in arguments or organize their thoughts clearly under pressure. Many also worry about grammar and writing quality, especially non-native English speakers. Personalized tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach to quickly identify flaws and structure your response efficiently.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but most students see meaningful gains—typically 1-2 points on the 0-6 scale—within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. The key is learning to recognize common argument patterns and logical fallacies, then practicing under timed conditions. Tutors can identify your specific weaknesses (like organization, identifying flaws, or pacing) and create a targeted study plan to address them.
Your first session typically involves taking a practice AWA prompt under timed conditions so your tutor can assess your current skills—how quickly you identify argument flaws, your essay structure, grammar, and time management. Your tutor will then review your essay, identify patterns in your mistakes, and discuss your target score and timeline. Together, you'll create a personalized study plan focused on your biggest opportunities for improvement.
Most students benefit from 3-8 weeks of focused AWA preparation, depending on their starting point and target score. If you're aiming for a 5 or 6, plan on more intensive practice with regular feedback. A typical study schedule includes learning argument analysis techniques, practicing 2-3 essays per week with tutor feedback, and reviewing common logical fallacies. Your tutor can adjust the timeline based on your progress and test date.
Effective practice involves three key steps: (1) learn to quickly identify the argument's claim and evidence, (2) spot logical fallacies and weaknesses systematically, and (3) write under strict time limits. Start by practicing with feedback from a tutor who can point out organizational issues and argument analysis gaps. Then move to timed, independent practice to build speed and confidence. Most students need 15-20 practice essays to develop consistency and efficiency.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Albuquerque who specialize in GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment preparation. You can share your target score, test date, and learning preferences, and we'll match you with a tutor who fits your needs. Tutoring can be personalized to your schedule and learning style, whether you prefer detailed feedback on practice essays or strategic guidance on argument analysis.
The AWA can be more challenging for non-native speakers since you're writing under time pressure and grammar accuracy matters for your score. However, the section rewards clear argument analysis and logical thinking more than perfect prose—you don't need to write like a novelist. A tutor can help you develop templates for organizing your essay, focus on clarity over complexity, and practice writing quickly without sacrificing quality. Many non-native speakers improve significantly with targeted practice and confidence building.
