GRE Writing Tips

I am doing preparation of writing an essay for Graduate Record Examinations GRE exam so can you please tell me the tips for essay writing?

For the Graduate Record Examinations GRE General Test, you must write an issue and an argument essay.

The two essays are quite different.

The Issue Writing Task:

You are presented with a topic -- often a controversial one. You are asked to present your perspective on the issue, using examples to support your claim.
You have 30 minutes to plan and compose a response.

The Argument Writing Task:

You are given a single topic, which often includes a snippet of an argument or a snippet of an editorial.
In writing the argument essay, your goal is not to agree or disagree, but instead you must critically analyze how well reasoned you find the provided statement.
You have 30 minutes to plan and compose the argument essay.

To achieve a top score, you'll need to demonstrate that you can write clearly and effectively.

To that extent you'll need to accomplish the following:

sustain a well-focused discussion
control the elements of standard written English.
examine claims and discuss accompanying evidence
provide examples to help support your claims
Clearly and effectively articulate complex ideas

Write at least three practice essays.

Don’t waffle.

Choose one side of the issue only, and don’t try to “have it both ways.”

Choose very specific real-world examples.

Make sure your examples are relevant to the topic.

Make strong, declarative statements

Refute the opposing view in your conclusion.
