Chapter 6:
The Real Essay Questions
How to see all the real AWA questions beforehand
To beat the competition, you
need to do some brainstorming for all 280 AWA questions so that
you are ready for any of them.
1. The questions are in Adobe
Acrobat (.pdf format). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat you can
download it for free click here
to download Adobe 5.0.
2. Then, 2003_awa_topics. (NOTE: REQUIRES ADOBE ACROBAT 5.0 or better.)
3. After you have downloaded the Acrobat file, print out the
140 Issue questions and the 140 Argument questions.
To review our sample essays (based on 2003 essays)
1. Download 2003_awa_topics
2. Number the questions from 1-10 for Analysis of Argument and
1-10 for the Analysis of Issue. (The Analysis of Issue essays
start after the 140 Analysis of Argument questions. This Issue
questions start approximately on page 22 of the print out.) We
have the answers to those questions here for the first ten essays
for both categories.
3. Skim through all of the essay questions. Take quick notes
on each of the questions (you will see two of them on test day).Then
go back and read each one again. Pause for a minute to ponder
the topic. At least three or four ideas will probably pop into
your mind; jot them down. At this point, don't try to organize
your thoughts or commit to a position on the issues.
