The GMAT (Analytical Writing Assessment)
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) (60 Minutes)
In the Old GMAT Pattern that is in effect till June 2012, the candidate is expected to write 2 analytical essays in 1 hour. As it is a computer based test, your typing and proofreading skills must be good as a spellchecker is not available. The two types of writing questions consist of:
Analysis of an Issue (30 minutes)
Analysis of an Argument (30 minutes)
The New GMAT Pattern (AWA + IR) (60 Minutes)
In the new GMAT format one of the essay components of the AWA section of the GMAT will be replaced by a new section, Integrated Reasoning that tests one’s ability to reason and effectively deduct answers to questions based on data given on a sortable spreadsheet.
Analysis of an Argument (30 minutes)
Integrated Reasoning (30 minutes)
As in the old pattern, the candiates cannot opt for a break in between these sections.
