🧠 GRE Exam Prep

For each of the two GRE Analytical Writing tasks, candidates are allotted 30 minutes. What is a recommended general strategy for time allocation within each task?

A Spend 25 minutes writing and 5 minutes proofreading.
B Spend 5-10 minutes planning/outlining, 15-20 minutes writing, and 5 minutes reviewing/proofreading.
C Start writing immediately and spend the full 30 minutes on drafting.
D Focus only on writing the introduction and conclusion, leaving the body for later.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Effective time management is crucial. Planning ensures a well-structured essay, writing develops the arguments, and reviewing catches errors, all within the strict time limit.
