This video was a great reminder of writing skills I had long forgotten and a little something new for me. I found the comparison to driving and writing helpful. I tend to be an unorganized writer, especially when under a time constraint.
Thank you so much! I'll tell my dad 😊. What other videos would you like to see on GRE prep?
Watched all three of your essay videos and my analytical writing score went from 2.5 to 4.5. Thank you so much!!
What is that plastic, static-y noise? It's distracting...
Yeah that's my old mic system that I have since retired. check out the new, static-free video on the Argument Essay! czcams.com/video/lgzDRLHV33A/video.html
The comparison between driving and writing was mesmerising. I loved the way you told how to give indicators, where you are going just like when you are driving. Your dad is an erudite. Thanks for the video.👍
He's the best. Thank you for your kind words! What are you going back to school to accomplish?
Thanks for these tips. They are really helpful
Thanks for this video - super helpful and you are charming! Looking forward to watching your other videos!
GRE RC writers should get these tips. especially- how to make it simple for reader to understand (Guide the reader) in such a short timeframe. such a pain
Love your energy and enthusiasm in the videos! Thanks for your great advises ! :)
Your skin is glowinggggggg
Lol thanks! What kind of program do you plan to apply to?
I have mine today! I personally LOVE writing, but this is so helpful!
All the best, today!
Loved this video. Thank you thank you. I feel more confident just watching this video.
Hi!! I love this video and the argument essay video... very helpful! Can you please make a video for tips on the issue essay??
Thank You.. These tips are helpful and I think just from what you advised I think I can improve my written score from 4.5 to 5 or better to get into a PHd program.
Nice job Ashlyee, thank you and keep it up.
Perfectly Portrayed!!!!
From another tutor/explainer - great video/tips (especially 2 and 5)!
I have my exam tomorrow. Your video has made me more confident☺️
This made my day, Kajal. All the very best on your test. You can do this! Let me know how it goes.
How did you do?
I am not a native English speaker, however I can speak fluently and have the ability to hold a conversation with a native speaker. I find reading the passages and sentences very troubling. I have never read any story books or anything that was not my text book while growing up. Also the medium of education I received up to high school was in my native language. I have registered for the GRE and my test is 2 months from now. I am sure I can ace the Quant section if I practice everyday, but I just don't have the same confidence about the Verbal section. That is because I am not seeing a lot of improvements. Yes, it is true that I am much better than what I was on day one, but the problem is that my progress has been in a stalemate for way too long. The ones I am able to understand, I almost get it right but make small mistakes, which gives me no points. There are also endless sentences which I can't comprehend due to the sheer complexity of the sentence structure and the frequency of difficult words. Got any tips for me? Thanks for the great content. SUBSCRIBED!!!
Hi great information. When we type our essay on the computer, are we able to see how many words we have typed? Thanks!
Hi Harsh, thanks for the kind words. No, unfortunately there isn't a word count. But when we it's important that we complete the essays on our practice tests so we can naturally get a feel for how long our essays tend to be. Does that help? Also, I'd love to know what video topics you would find valuable. 😀
Icon, amazing, queen things.
Takes one to know one! What are you planning to apply to?
@@Ashlyee PA school! I wanna take it in April. My practice test i got a combined 307 but it was just practice !
You're off to a great start! What topic should I cover in my next video?
@@Ashlyee Can you talk about how to study for the verbal portion. Idk how to start studying there
Nice video, and you are gorgeous :) Btw, do I need to really focus on Analytical Writing If I want to apply for MSc Computer Science degree? Or It is better to concentrate on quant. and verbal sections? The thing is I have only slightly more than 1 month to prepare :(
Thanks for watching! It really depends on your school and your background. Your quant/verbal score is definitely most prominent (schools usually don't post average AWA scores on the class profile), but if English is not a student's first language, they will likely want to make sure there AWA score does not raise doubts.
Ashlyee Freeman Thank you very much. Then I think a little bit of practice for the writing portion is essential anyway.
No problem, make sure you check out the newest video on the Argument Essay and let me know what you think! czcams.com/video/lgzDRLHV33A/video.html
What are examples of key words? The first thing I think about as a "key word" is the name of a company, or a specific statistic/number stated in the prompt. Is that a close assumption?
Thank you
Any time!
what to do if one has writers block in the middle of the test and limited time
The most important things to do in that situation are to try your best, move on, and don't let that distract you from the rest of the test. If that is a major concern, you can start practicing now. The essay topics are on the ETS website.
What to do if u have no idea what the topic is about, but want to succeed .
We have the power to make sure that doesn't happen. We can practice using the information available ➡️ www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/analytical_writing/issue/pool
Please post some video to get 7 in IELTS writing.already appreciate you
I wish I could! However, I am not familiar with that test. If you have questions about grad school, GRE or GMAT then I can definitely help with that. All the best!
Omg are u serious ? The 340 marks do not include analytical writing?
It's true: the writing portion has a separate score. What kind of program are you considering?
@@Ashlyee well I am planning to apply for masters in Germany ,hence I need to write GRE
That's awesome! Just to clarify: the essays are still a part of the general GRE (with verbal and quantitative), they are just scored separately. You get your verbal/quant immediately and you get your score for your essays a few days later.
@@Ashlyee ohh all right that's fine by me. Could I get some insight into how to learn all these new words that I come across everyday because being from an Indian background the English part comes across as really difficult.
Absolutely, I share a lot of resources on my Verbal FAQ video (czcams.com/video/LmaEzlTTSMQ/video.html). I also recommend practicing trying to figure out the words without using a translator first and then look up the words to test your understanding. This will help you prepare for the test.
Wish i had run into this channel before ♡
Thanks for finding me now! I'll have lots of content on surviving and thriving in grad school. What kind of program are you considering?
@@Ashlyee i'm considering public policy, eventhough i have a different major in ugrad :)
Oh no, no spell check on the GRE? I have terrible spelling and have relied on spell check my whole life! Also, how long should the answers be? I took a practice test and felt that I could answer the prompt with about 150 words effectively but some people are saying you need a 500 word response?!
Yes they are looking for 400 to 600 words
The audio was awful in this video even tho it was very informative! Please fix thanks so much!
I appreciate the feedback! Let me know what topics would be helpful for newer videos. 😉
I am kind of wondering whether I should retake since I have a 164 verbal and 169 quant but 3.0 AWA. Kind of depressing because next time I take won't have enough time for preparation...
Hi Yunseok, I think it depends on the kind of program you're interested in and your ability to reproduce your quant/verbal results and improve your essay score. If your program requires a lot of writing, the essay score could raise a red flag. Overall, I think it's best to ask admissions from a program that you are targeting. Is that helpful?
Can pls do a video of how to write analytical writing in GRE (in computer)
Definitely, it's coming soon. When do you plan to take the test?
cringe worthy sound
I'm so glad my audio game has grown since then! Check out the latest video on the Argument Essay czcams.com/video/lgzDRLHV33A/video.html
