Most of the solutions are bang on! All these topics are from the official GRE essay list, so the probability of one of these essays coming in your actual GRE is very high. Infact in my GRE, I was asked one of the Issue topics that was already solved in this book. Having already read the solution had two advantages, 1) I had good idea of how to go about writing the essay and 2) I felt lot more confident and all my exam stress went away. I will give this book 5 stars! Great book to help prepare for the GRE essays!! Very helpful strategies and the essays are also detailed.
I have read through only few topics yet but will definitely read through all of them. If I get the time to read all the 60 Issues and Arguments, there’ll be no looking back. I am glad I made this purchase. Each topic is followed by multiple pointers to help you construct the essay.
A sample essay is also provided for reference. But what I liked the most about the book is they covered over sixty writing topics. Great for practice. The book starts with an introduction to the analytical writing section, then explains Analyze an Issue task and Analyze an Argument task including scoring patterns for both.
It gives strategies for writing Issue and Argument tasks. It then takes 30 Issue topics and guides us to write an essay on each of those topics - strategies include how to interpret the topic, different positions that can be taken for the topic in question, ways to support the position you take, examples and more. At the end, a sample essay is also given which can be used as a benchmark. After the Issue topics, 30 Argument topics are covered.
Again, each topic is followed by strategies and a sample essay. The author has addressed many possible positions of an Issue, assumptions in an argument, evidences required and questions to be answered making the writing task look easy as pie. Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (5 Star Ratings) (GRE Analytical Writing: Solutions to the Real Essay Topics - Book 2) This is an excellent book for GRE Analytical Writing exams. I found this book to be very comprehensive about all aspects of Analytical Writing.
In terms of example essays: there are some very good and well written essays, but at the same time I felt there were some first-person essays that I could have improved upon. Overall, it gives you good idea about different types of writing styles and essays that are needed for passing the GRE Analytical Writing. This book was a great buy, a must-read for all GRE test takers. The content in the book was useful, thought provoking, and I have several ideas to work with now.
In addition, the content is presented well too. I found very few books that focus on the GRE writing section; and of those, I prefer this book. I bought this for myself and i had no problem with the Quant section of the GRE and verbal prep was not bad either. I didn’t know anything about the Analytical writing section as I had kept the prep for this section towards the end.
Glad I made this purchase, now I feel much more confident than I was a week ago. One more week for my real test, hope to see a 5 atleast in the GRE. The author has done a fantastic job. The elaborate explanation of each topic helped me immensely, I could gather my thoughts, streamline them and put them into appropriate words.
Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (5 Star Ratings) (GRE Analytical Writing: Solutions to the Real Essay Topics - Book 3) This small in size by large in content book is a part of the Test Prep Series published as guides to those who are preparing for Graduate Record Exams. No book is going to guarantee a students passing these ominous examinations, but the writers of this series allow some of the most positive preparation techniques currently available. This particular book provides analytical writing insights for the REVISED GRE general test. The book is itself a test, but a test taken in the quiet of the student’s space, acclimating the student for the concepts presented in the GRE.
As the book states in its introduction, ‘The Analytical Writing Measure is intended to assess your ability to think critically and write effectively about a topic while following specific directions.’ Two tasks are presented: 1) Analyze an Issue and 2) Analyze an Argument. The book then supplies tow portions and allows the reader/student thirty minutes to complete each. It then provides a scoring guide of issue and Argument that are relevant to the revised GRE regulations and guidelines. The book finishes with 10 solve essay topics with input on how to approach each topic, and finally 10 practice exercises to polish off the lessons learned.
Though the information here listed will probably only be understood by those preparing for taking the GRE - this is hardly an entertaining book for the non-student to read! But the careful and smoothly worded manner in which this book is written will make the material easily understood by those in preparation phases for the GRE. AND the important aspect of this manual is that it takes into account all of the changes on the GRE since August 1, 2011! It would seem almost negligent not to pay attention to this new and very helpful guide. ***** ***** Table of Contents 1. Analyze an Issue Task Scoring Guide General Strategies 2.

You will not need any specific content knowledge to complete either in this portion of the test.
The purpose of both writing pieces is to determine your readiness to perform appropriately at the graduate level. During this portion of the test, you will complete two writing tasks: Analyze an Issue and Analyze an Argument. For each portion, you will have 30 minutes to read the prompt and directions and to plan and execute your response. The two tasks are opposite in their nature.
During the Analyze an Issue task, you will write persuasively as you express your point of view on the selected topic, which may be in the form of an opinion, a recommendation, a claim and reason, or the presentation of two points of view. It is important to read the directions carefully to ensure that your response is addressing the prompt correctly and to enable you to receive the highest score. During the Analyze an Argument task, you will evaluate an argument to determine the strength of the facts and assumptions that it presents. You may be asked to evaluate the evidence to determine if the assumptions are correct, formulate questions that will need to be answered before determining if the assumptions are correct, what further evidence is necessary before the argument can be declared correct, or what steps should be completed before accepting a recommended course of action.
As in the Analyze an Issue task, in the Analyze an Argument task, reading and following the directions carefully is the best way to ensure that you receive a high score for your efforts. Strategies for Completing Analytical Writing Measure Each portion of the writing measure is 30 minutes long. In that period of time, you must read the statement or brief passage and the directions for creating your response, plan how you want to respond, and write your essay. If you spend too much time taking notes and organizing your thoughts, you may not have enough time to finish writing your essay.
On the other hand, completing a prewriting activity sufficiently will help you write your essay more quickly. Budgeting your time is crucial and responding to some of the prompts published on the ETS site, ets.org will help you to do that. Although the GRE readers are aware of the time limit and that your essay is essentially a draft, they will expect you to perform at a high level. Leave a few minutes at the end of each writing section to review your essay for errors in spelling, grammar, usage, and sentence structure.
***** Analyze an Issue Task As you complete this task, you will have an opportunity to express your point of view on an issue. Because it is essentially your opinion, there is no “correct” answer. You must, however, support your point of view with sufficient evidence to show the strength of your argument. You may agree completely with the statement about the issue, partially agree with it, or completely disagree with it.
Be certain to stay on topic and follow the directions carefully. For example, you might be presented with a statement similar to the following: It is always best to look before you leap. One interpretation of this statement is that one should consider potential consequences before taking any action. The directions may instruct you to write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take.
If you agree with the statement, you should recall examples from your reading, your studies, or your own experience that support your position. Think about Holden Caulfield’s actions in The Catcher in the Rye.
