About this lesson: Academic Writing Vocabulary
The GRE Analytical Writing section rewards essays with developed arguments — and developed arguments take words. Raising your typing speed by even 10 WPM adds meaningful length and revision time to a 30-minute essay.
How to get the most from this drill
- Train on argumentative prose: GRE essays use formal vocabulary and long sentences.
- Practice sustained 10–15 minute sessions; the AWA is an endurance event.
- Leave mental room for thinking — your typing should run on autopilot while you compose.
