In the Analysis of Issue question
you discuss your opinion toward an issue. You write a well-balanced
analysis of the issue the test presents to you.
The most common topics
relate to general business and public policy issues. Business
issues generally relate to business ethics, marketing and labor.
Government issues will generally relate to regulatory issues
and social welfare issues.
