I got a 5 on the AWA!!!

[MichaelMonroe]

I'm soooo happy. I took the GRE over the summer and got 156Q/157V/3AWA and I was feeling really bad about myself. I considered sending in the scores anyways, but my advisor (who's seen my writing before) was convinced that the writing score was a fluke. I took the test again on Oct 15 and just got my scores back: 154Q/160V/5AWA! I'm sooo happy! I expected my Q to go down a bit, but since I'm in psych I don't think a low Q score will kill me. 

 

 

For anyone struggling with the AWA I practiced using this format for the argument: https://www.kaptest.com/study/gre/how-to-structure-the-gre-argument-essay/. And this format for the issue https://www.kaptest.com/study/gre/how-to-structure-the-gre-issue-essay/. I just memorized the basic format and practiced it timed about 4-5 times without looking at my notes.
