thehauteculture Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I take the GRE on November 27th, and I'm applying to a few English literature MA programs, so I think the AW section is probably the most important part of the test for me. I've done quite a few timed practice essays, but none of them have been scored. So, although I feel confident about my writing, I still have no idea how I will score/how I am currently scoring on the essays. I read in an old thread on this board (that was posted before the GRE Revised came out) that it wasn't worth the $13, but I'm still considering purchasing it since scores are now typically given by a computer and a human reader. At the same time, I'm worried that, with the deadline this close, a low score will freak me out and only inhibit my writing abilities on test day. (I have pretty bad test anxiety.) Can anyone give me some feedback/advice on ScoreItNow? Are there other similar resources that provide the same services at a low cost with prompt feedback? Any help would be appreciated!

rickytran344 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Does Score It Now make you write an essay on one of their questions, or do you get to submit a practice essay that you did on your own already for scoring. If it is computer scored, I would imagine it is one of their essays, and then it all boils down to whether or not their essay questions accurately reflect the GRE essay questions. If not, I wouldn't waste your time or money and a low score wouldn't necessarily even be an accurate reflection of your ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
