<p>I have a quick question about the analytical writing section of the GRE. On the ETS website, they present a pool of issue topics and of argument topics. The ETS website says that on an actual GRE, we will be presented with topics from these pools, though the wording may change slightly.</p>
<p>So do I understand it correctly? The possible essay topics are already given to us? Once we study them we will know anything that could possibly be on that test? I just wanted to make sure I understand correctly.</p>
<p>haha yes. good luck practising with all of the 400 topics! </p>
<p>but the good thing is, do five (ten if it’ll make you feel better) of each writing task, time them of course, get them checked by a reliable relative/professor, give some buffer time for learning between each practice task and you should do just fine. </p>
<p>I have my gre in a couple of days and i’ve only just started studying for it. SO.</p>
<p>Haha @ notmythang. Good luck to both of you!! I will hopefully be taking the GRE at the end of the summer or sometime in the beginning of the fall.</p>
<p>Just remember that you need to do them like a 5th grade essay. Profesors aren’t grading them, it’s a bunch of bored grad students somewhere trying to get through as many as they can as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>Simple is best. You don’t need any flourishes or even amazing arguments.</p>
<p>Paragraph introducing what you’re going to say</p>
<p>Three paragraphs outlining main points</p>
<p>Paragraph rebutting counter arguments</p>
<p>Conclude by recapping what you’ve already written. Voila.</p>
