While some business schools show little interest in the AWA (analytical writing assessment) portion of your GMAT, other schools use the results to help distinguish between the hundreds of students competing for placement in their programs. If your schools of choice consider AWA results when selecting students, you'll need to devote time to your essays as well as to your math and verbal skills. When you take your GMAT, the computer randomly selects two essay questions from its question bank. GMAT CAT: Answers to the Real Essay Questions can help you prepare for all of them. No book is allowed to publish the questions (though this book's appendix will tell you how to download the 180 official AWA questions from the EST's web site)-- but this book does provide you with sample answers to all 180 questions. The authors warn you not to try to use their answers on the exam, as the GMAT readers feel pretty strongly about plagiarism--instead, they provide you with tools to help you compose your own high-scoring GMAT essays and a 'scorecard' to help you score your practice essays. The book also offers advice on how to answer both the 'analysis of an issue' and 'analysis of an argument' questions, and truly practical information about the basic structure of the exam and even the word-processing program you'll be using on your test. Filled with such useful advice, GMAT CAT: Answers to the Real Essay Questions would be a great addition to the serious student's GMAT preparation. --C.B. Delaney

The truth of the matter is some Grad Schools do not care what score you receive on the essay section of GMAT BUT some do! If the school of your dreams has an essay score requirement I recommend this book. If you actively read through 1/3 to 1/2 of each section(analysis of an issue, analysis of an argument) you will have a great understanding of what it takes to get a 5.0-6.0 on each essay. I read 50% of each section, took notes on transitions, introductory phrases,conclusion phrases, and memorized the recommended formats. This exercise took me about six hours,and was well worth it! It gave me an idea of the key topics GMAT tests on and what level of vocabulary I had to use to get a 6.0, and on test day I implemented their suggestions and got a 6.0! The last thing you want to do is prepare for the essay section, after long hours of Math/Verbal prep, but if you put six hours aside to work through this book,the weekend before your test it will be well worth it!Getting the GMAT score of your dreams is possible you just need time and right study guides.

Given the fact that the average writing score is around 4 out of 6, it is safe to assume that most test takers can write somewhat decent essays. The drawback of this book is that it needs to be updated to include the essay topics that GMAC has been adding to the question pool each year. It also would be nice to have the essay questions in the book. It can be time consuming to try to match up the essay topics, which are listed somewhere else on the web, to the essay answers in the book. But this book does teach people how to organize their thoughts and express them effectively. The sample essays might also give people fresh ideas on which stand to take for issue topics and what to look for in the argument topics.

By reading this book you can really understand exactly what the examinators (including computer examinator) are expecting and looking for in a GMAT essay.
You must have your own writing skills, but this book can definitely help with the format and key-phrases.

This book gives one a thorough insight into the essay questions for GMAT. It is a must read for anyone giving the GMAT. It gets one thinking on the lines of the GMAT test setters. On the day of the GMAT one has to type one's own ideas but this book definitely prepares one for it.

I ordered this book online. When I received the book, I was surprised to find that no questions are available in the book. I followed the instructions in the book to download the questions, but it 's a dead link!!! I could not find any other information on publisher's site. Do not buy this book unless you can find the questions to match the essays.
