Hi all,

Has anyone already used the EssayInsight service for essay writing practice please? If so, how reliable are the scores they provide compared to the actual scoring by ETS?

Many thanks for any answer.

Best

I don't think I did too well this time on AWA. Perhaps 4.5 or so. I just had nothing to say on the issue analysis but I'm sure I rocked the argument part. Make sure that you take the breaks after this as it will give you the final breath before the "real" thing starts. I wasn't happy with how the issue part unfolded but never looked back or even had any thought about that in the following sections. I would recommend you to stick to a combination of PR/OG templates as it works with just any situation. Last time I stuck with those I got 5.5. I think that as long as you got 4+ and a good GMAT score, AWA should not be a major concern. Don't sweat it.

I ended up having 5.5 in AWA. I don't know about the company you mentioned but I suggest you to stick to templates. It's the safest way to score well for non-native speakers

You will find the templates in the GMAT Official Guide 10th edition which you can buy on amazon.com. Also, any edition of the "Princeton Review" also has good templates(although I would recommend you to buy the PR2005+CD)
