Welcome
Welcome to all aspirants of GRE.
I am just one of you, who is intending to perform good at GRE. For most of the people, harder part of the GRE is verbal section and analytical writing. While verbal abilities can be improved only by more exposure, I sincerely believe that analytical writing abilities needs grooming and sharing among equals. That's my major purpose for starting this blog.
Here is how we can start. ETS has announced the pool of issue topics and argument topics from which issues and arguments would be presented to test takers (Link for both pool and gre analytical in general has been put in right panel of the blog). The starting point can be we all can choose our topic of interest and write something about same on the blog. Other readers can give their comments, critique for scope of improvement. How does that sound? Comments/Suggestions are welcome for extension/improvement of this idea. I'd be glad to welcome all who are willing to co-author the blog. Even if you're not a GRE aspirant, but are interested in writing about the topics mentioned, you are welcome to join. Just put your introduction in the comments section and we'll strengthen this force for all of us. Happy Blogging!!!
Some Important Links:-
It's highly recommended that you read description of the analytical writing section, strategies for each task, directions, scoring information, scoring guides, score level descriptions, a sample test, and scored essay responses with reader commentary etc. in the introductory article for Analytical writing (First link here).

Taking GRE!!? When?
I took it 4 years back!
i think the Verbal can be scored well if you like learning new words or have a good command on the language :)
Quant is pretty easy and Analytical..well that section needs lot of practice and finally confidence at the D-day is all wht it takes for a nice score!
Links are not opening...pls look into the matter
@Nachiket : Links were temporarily not working because ets.org itself had some problems. Check now. They are working fine now

Hey can anyone tell me that till when can I register If i want to take the Old GRE in 2007..
I feel that the GRE is very culturally biased, i.e., Indians are at a disadvantage in relation to Americans.
This was very clear from my own experience.
Let us know which book do you all recommend us, or even better if you know some free samples of essays for issues and arguments.
Thank you,

Hi.. I will be appearing for gre this december. I have just started preparing for it and need feedback on my analytical writing. Please comment on my essays i will post here.
Issue: Technological
As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
Essay:
In this technological orientated era, people are tend to get attracted towards the technology. Life without the technology seems unrealistic. In fact, It is a wrong epitome to claim that the technology drives this globe, rather human drives the technology to live their lives ill-at-ease.
People’s mental abilities get stronger as they use the technology more often. For instance, in the household technologies, latest microwave ovens, washing machines and dishwashers etc. have enhanced comfort level of the people. Nonetheless, some of these gadgets might be considered as less useful items such as coffee grinders, etc.
Basically there is nothing wrong on relying on the technology because it gives more space to stay with our families and friends. Imagine if there were no fast vehicles such as trains, buses, cars, etc., it would take ages to reach home from office that means less time for our social activities. However, it should be considered that the technology has also taken away most part of our social lives. For example, Facebook is now the most popular way to meet friends and family, this can be seen as a thread to people as eventually they might forget about physical interactions and actual social living style.
The ability of human beings to think for themselves can only vanish if these people are not educated about the technologies. Nowadays, most of the youth are technology orientated. If we consider primary school education, it is moving along with the latest technological gadgets. For example, Confey College of Ireland has made in mandatory for their primary and secondary school students to use iPad (Tablet) rather than using usual school books. In this way, there is a huge chance of involvement in the technology and understand the importance of it’s need. One can argue that the use of the tablet will decrease the value of the books, however books are still here but with the better and environmental friendly (save trees) way.
People have to understand that they are the ones who design and operate this technological instruments. If they are relying on them, it does not mean that the technology has taken their place or they might die without the technology. It is therefore essential to educate our children to be able to design or at least operate the technological items and make good use of them.
Great post!! This can be one particular of the most useful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Basically Wonderful. I am also a specialist in this topic so I can understand your hard work.

It's interesting that many of the bloggers your tips helped to clarify a few things for me as well as giving.. very specific niche content. And tell people specific ways to live their lives.Sometimes you just have to yell at people and give them a good shake to get your point across.
