Its not easy to show things as a running flash player. I understand the hard work and appreciate the effort put in to bring the crux of writing essays. I should agree with lky that it could have been better if there was a solved example just similar to the one we would face in the exams.

Good article. Introduces to the whole of general essay writing approach. However, I read in many places that GRE essays are to be one or two paragraphs with not more than 200 words (i am not very sure), If it to be considered as the best one. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance :)

  Dear Prashanth,
  
  ETS has not given a word limit, and so how long the essay depends on how long you feel it should be.
  
  If you can cover all the points in depth in one 100 words, then it’s great. At the same time, if it is going to take 700 words to express your true opinions on the matter, that’s fine too.
  
  However, realistically, I feel that 400-600 is the ‘ideal’ range for the Issue and 300-500 for the Argument.
