This book is intended to help you to prepare for the Analytical Writing section of the revised GRE test. During the test, you will be asked to respond in writing to two different types of prompts. One, Analyse an Issue, requires you to follow specific directions as you take a position on a statement, claim, or recommendation. The other, Analyse an Argument, requires you to follow specific instructions as you determine the strengths and/or weaknesses presented in an argument. Since you will have limited time to develop your responses, some preparation for the test will be helpful. The Analytical Writing Measure is just one part of the GRE, but, combined with your scores on the other parts of the test, helps to predict your ability to be successful in graduate school. This book contains thirty sample Analyse an Issue essays and thirty sample Analyse an Argument essays along with the rubrics, prompts and tips to use when writing your own essays. The prewriting activities demonstrate how the writer selected a point of view and created evidence to use in developing the responses. You should notice a variety of approaches, from using first-person point of view to employing historical and literary references. These are just suggestions. Your own experience, reading, and course work may lead you to take different approaches. Keep in mind the specific directions, the rubric and your own experience in writing at the college level.

One of the sample essays on the Arts is rather rambling. What may be more helpful to readers is to show two (or more) sample essays side-by-side with highlighted edits to demonstrate the process. The rambling sample essay also departs from what is generally taught in graduate programs on how to write an academically-focused (rather than entertainment-focused) essay: begin by telling the reader what is coming, present the main argument(s) and wrap up by reminding them of what they've already been told. Yes, that isn't the most creative style of writing, and to some of us academicians it's stodgy and boring, but that is what so many in academia expect from students and each other. Alerting readers to that heuristic format would be helpful.
Also missing from this book is a discussion on how students should cite their work during the test. Academic essays, unlike Op-Ed pieces and essays created for entertainment, academic works must include citations. The issue of plagiarism has recently sent disturbing shock waves through academia and eroded the public's trust in scholars' ability to perform in an ethical manner. Companies such as ETS are probably facing increased scrutiny and are responding by putting greater emphasis on identifying plagiarism.
The book does provide a rather comprehensive list of sample topics. A reader could choose a topic and be prepared for the test by becoming familiar with the most common sources on the topic, memorizing one or two references that could be cited on the exam essay. A student who can demonstrate that he or she is not only able to think clearly and independently but is also doing his or her best to avoid plagiarism is likely to receive a favorable reading of their test essay.
