AWA Essays In the Analytical Writing Assessment, you will be asked to write 2 essays. You will have exactly 30 minutes to write each essay. In the first essay, you are requried to analyze an argument. Your task is to critique the argument, not to present your own view on the given subject. In the second essay, you are required to analyze an issue. Your task is to present and support your particular view on the given issue. AWA ESSAYS: ANALYSIS OF AN ARGUMENT ESSAY QUESTION: The following appeared in an article in a human resources magazine: "Six months ago, in an experiment aimed at boosting worker productivity, Company Z started providing free gourmet lunches to its employees. The Company hoped that these office lunches would encourage employees to remain in the building during lunch- hour and motivate employees to work harder throughout the day. A survey found that soon after the lunch program was implemented, the average number of hours worked by most Company Z employees i ncreased dramatically. During this same period, the Company's profits also increased substantially. Thus, it is safe to say that the lunch program was a huge success and that Company Z should make the program permanent." YOUR RESPONSE: AWA ESSAYS: ANALYSIS OF AN ISSUE ESSAY QUESTION: "Although the modern information age has opened up channels of communication that never before existed, it, paradoxically, has destroyed the foundation of community by isolating individuals in a technological world that involves little real human interaction." Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the position stated above. Support your viewpoint using reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. YOUR RESPONSE: Problem Solving Each Problem Solving question consists of a quantitative question and 5 answer choices. Solve the problem and select the best of the given answer choices. Note that all numbers given are real numbers. Figures are drawn as accurately as possible, except when explicitly stated otherwise. 1. How many integers are there between 51 and 107, inclusive? • 51 • 55 • 56 • 57 • 58 2. Which of the following is the second greatest? • .000008 • 8 × 10 -8 • 8 ÷ 10 5 • .0008 1000 • 88 ÷ 10 6 3. The number of passengers on a certain bus at any given time is given by the equation P = -2(S – 4) 2 + 32, where P is the number of passengers and S is the number of stops the bus has made since beginning its route. If the bus begins its route with no passengers, how many passengers will be on the bus two stops after the stop where it has its greatest number of passengers? • 32 • 30 • 24 • 14 • 0 Data Sufficiency Each Data Sufficiency question consists of a question and two statements, labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. In questions that ask you to find a numerical quantity, data provided in the statements are considered sufficient only if it is possible to determine exactly one numerical value for the quantity. You must answer each question by choosing from 5 Data Sufficiency answer choices: (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient. (B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient. (C) BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient. (D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient. (E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient. These 5 answer choices are presented (in this exact order) for every Data Sufficiency question. Note that all numbers given are real numbers. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. 4. At a charity fundraiser, 180 of the guests had a house both in the Hamptons and in Palm Beach.
