Hi,
I'm curious how you all use these topics to study for the exam. Do you try to plan out an essay response in advance for each question, so you are prepared in case you get that question? Or are you just practicing with some of these topics to gain familiarity with the type of questions you might be asked and what an essay might look like? How much time have most people spent practicing for the writing section? Is it really that important?

Thanks,
Ricky

Hi bb,
Could you please confirm are these docs updated one? As the Analysis of an Issue is replaced by IR...

Hi debayan222,

Yes this is the updated one. I checked the two files and there has been no change in the prompts.

You can also visit the mba.com mentioned in bb's.

Hi bb- Could you please confirm to what extent this sample is updated?

Are you saying that this list is exhausted and we can expect any one of these arguments (may be with slight modification)?

Much appreciate your feedback.

I took GMAT about a week back. The argument that I got in AWA wasn't there in the list of arguments published by GMAT.

It was about an "apparel company that is planning to expand its business by opening 125 retail stores and the CEO being a former rockstar... blah blah blah".

So I don't think the official list is exhaustive.

I think the list is not supposed to be exhaustive.

Just passed the GMAT last week and y subject cannot be found in the list.

I took the GMAT at the end of April and my topic was definitely not on the updated list. I looked at the topics in OG 2016.

It was something about a company wanting to move the manufacturing of some product from one facility to another because it could be produced more efficiently at the other plant.... I don't remember what kind of "appliances" they were producing at the plant, but I checked the topics right after I got back from the test and it was NOT on the list.
