Having a clear idea of how you will critically analyze your argument can help write an effective essay. Study the sample templates and create your own. An efficient AWA template follows a structure: an intro, a body, and a conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An intro should restate the flaws of the argument, which usually relies on assumptions with no clear evidence. A flawed argument makes the prompt topic unconvincing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body has 3 to 4 paragraphs. Each para will highlight the flaws, state evidence to strengthen your argument, with valid examples to support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concluding para states the reasons that the author\u2019s argument is weak and illogical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Out_the_List_of_Topics_of_Past_Analytical_Writing_Tips_Essay\"><\/span><strong>Check Out the List of Topics of Past Analytical Writing Tips Essay<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is advisable to check out the list of prompt topics from the past analytical writing assessment essay. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find these at the Official<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mba.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0GMAT Exam Website: Prepare &amp; Plan for Business School<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mba.com\/~\/media\/Files\/mba2\/the-gmat-exam\/files\/gmat-exam-format-and-timing\/analytical-writing-assessment\/analysisofanargument_gmat-exam.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Analysis of an argument topics<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_and_Re-read_the_Prompt\"><\/span><strong>Read and Re-read the Prompt<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The arguments that you will analyze in the GMAT exam AWA section will be on a general interest topic like science, politics, etc. You don\u2019t need an in-depth knowledge of any specific field to write the essay. However, the most important thing to remember is to read the question carefully. Re-read the question till you understand the author\u2019s intent behind it. You are supposed to analyze the question critically, without stating your opinion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understand_and_Follow_the_Directions\"><\/span><strong>Understand and Follow the Directions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the directions in the question asked in this section is a critical step. The directions are specific. You have to write a critique argument on the given prompt topic\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. The section is not about a well articulated or thoughtful piece written based on your personal opinion. Analyze the prompt and write critically around the given topic. Simply, do as directed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Not_Start_Writing_Immediately\"><\/span><strong>Do Not Start Writing Immediately<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin writing the essay, take a few minutes to think about the question. Understand the prompt through the author\u2019s context. Plan your response by working out various options in your mind. Take a few minutes to jot down main points or ideas that you feel can be helpful. Stay focused, and do not let your views or opinions distract you from the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sketch_an_Outline_and_Create_a_Structure\"><\/span><strong>Sketch an Outline and Create a Structure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sketch a brief outline of the ideas\/points you jotted down earlier. Develop a clear structure that consists of an intro, body, and conclusion. The intro should have one paragraph, the body should comprise 3 to 4 paragraphs, and the last paragraph should state the conclusion. Write a decently framed essay. A lengthy essay will not get you good scores.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Your_Essay_Stand-out\"><\/span><strong>Make Your Essay Stand-out<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not have to flaunt your linguistic prowess when writing the essay for <\/span><b>analytical writing assessment, GMAT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Use short and crisp sentences. Write in simple and understandable English. Make use of accurate facts to support your argument. You can use quotes to enhance your conclusion. Your essay doesn\u2019t have to be creative, but it should be content rich. Use headings and subheadings wherever it seems necessary. It should be an easy read.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Management\"><\/span><strong>Time Management<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you have 30-minutes to plan and write your response. Follow this simple strategy to manage your time to finish writing the essay on time. Spend a few minutes reading and re-reading the question. And a few minutes writing the pointers that could help frame the required response. Take 2 to 3 minutes to find suitable examples to support your argument. Spend good time to write your first draft, as this will help you write your essay. Once you finish writing your essay, make sure you have enough time to recheck what you have written and make necessary changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_Analysis_Brief_and_It_Should_Read_Like_a_Narrative\"><\/span><strong>Keep Analysis Brief and It Should Read Like a Narrative<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is advisable to keep the argument analysis brief. Let\u2019s understand what should be there in your essay introduction. Your essay intro should restate the main argument of the prompts and highlight the flaws mentioned. Each body paragraph should focus on the particular flaws in the argument prompt topic \u2013 highlight the flaw, state the reason it&#8217;s a flaw, and state how the argument could have been clear. The conclusion should summarize how the flaws affected the validity of the argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Work_on_Your_Language\"><\/span><strong>Work on Your Language<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to keep your language simple and clear, sentences short and easily readable. Concise sentences make the flow of ideas logical and to the point. This is not a test of your rich vocabulary or linguistic skills. The candidate only has to provide an argument that proves that the given premise doesn\u2019t necessarily lead to the mentioned conclusion in the most logical manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice\"><\/span><strong>Practice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading the previous year&#8217;s AWA essay is not enough.
