Hi folks,
I am wondering if serious test takers spend all 1 hr. for AWA. Would it be better to spend minimal time on AWA and keep one's mind fresh for the harder Quant and Verbal sections?
Would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Thx,
Rianah

I would definitely not spend less time on that. The awa section actually comes quite handy because it starts to let your brain work with not too stressful and time pacing tasks.....
Some people say, that reading some pages of a book before the test does the trick. However I personally would drift off a little. I always get so involved reading a good book
And I dont really think that the AWA takes so much of your brain power, that you may perform less in the quant and verbal section. Its part of the overall gmat. Your gmat essays (not only the results) will be sent to your schools. The admissioners will read them, so you want to make sure to demonstrate some writing skills.
Additionally, they sometimes want to double check your writing style with your essays....
Do what feels comfortable, if you think your Awa essays are fine, move on to quant.
Good luck for the test!

Watch the clock on the essays. I made the mistake of ignoring it because I'm a fast typist so I didn't think time would be an issue. I ran out of time midway through my conclusion on the first essay. As it turned out, it didn't hurt my score any (I pulled a 6.0) but I thought it would and it rattled me a little. So just keep an eye on your time.
