Essay Writing Instructions
In addition to responding to the issue, you will also be presented with specific writing instructions that require you to go
a step further than simply stating and defending your position. Pay close attention to these instructions and familiarize
yourself with the six common sets of instructions ahead of the exam.
Scoring
Essays are scored on a scale of 0.0−6.0 and your Analyze an Issue essay score is averaged with your score from the
Analyze an Argument essay to derive your cumulative Analytical Writing score. You will not receive a separate score for
the Analyze an Issue essay.
Tips for a Solid Analyze an Issue Essay
• Ensure your essay takes a clear stance on the issue, is well-
organized, and addresses all components of the essay task.
• Your overall essay organization is important, but make sure each paragraph is also well organized.
• Take a few minutes to proofread your essay and check for missing words, awkward sentence constructions, and
grammatical errors.
