AWA(the second trial),target 5.0~5.5, real score 6.0 / My first trial is about three years ago, the score is only 4.5. Every man has his own way, here below is mine. Learn - Read randomly some samples of the good articles (the white book) - Pay attention to SC practice - Pay attention to the structure of some related RC articles Practice - Practice every email in your daily working (the assumption is that you use English as working language (written) - Try to do writing practice when you are doing simulated test (e.g. PowerPrepare) - My experience, the week before the testing, I practiced six articles (AI and AA in pair) every morning time(9:00~10:00) - My experience, type three good or sample articles Do - On the day, I met with the topics that I read before (the probability is high when your reading all the topics through) - I did not think too much before I typed - My experience, say what you want to say, in my AI, the first flash of the idea is that I'd like to take one side but the reality is that I did take a balanced view of point - The number of words does not that matter. My idea is that over 350 can be okay. - The balanced of each paragraph can play a good role in your scoring. - My experience, please spend as least 2 minutes to read the article through -- I picked up at least three spelling errors and two unnecessary repeats there - The last but not least important, believe that you did a good job before your entering into the Math section Good luck to all GMATer ! |
