GRE Writing Assessment簡介
從1999年10月開始的這項GRE作文評估考試并不是強制考試項目，您可以根據自己的需要以及所報學校的要求決定是否參與此項考試。不過隨著這項考試的普及以及它所能反映的考生寫作的能力，應該會有越來越多的學校要求申請入學的學生提供此項成績。
下面是考試內容簡介：
The GRE Writing Assessment consists of two analytical writing tasks:
1. a 45-minute "Present Your Perspective on an Issue" task
2. a 30-minute "Analyze an Argument" task
The "Issue" task states an opinion on an issue of broad interest and asks test takers to address the issue from any perspective(s) they wish, so long as they provide relevant reasons and examples to explain and support their views.
The "Argument" task presents a different challenge: it requires test takers to critique an argument by discussing how well reasoned they find it. Test takers are asked to consider the logical soundness of the argument rather than agree or disagree with the position it presents.
Thus the two tasks are complementary in that one requires test takers to construct their own argument by making claims and providing evidence supporting their position on the issue, whereas the other requires them to critique someone else's argument by assessing its claims and evaluating the evidence it provides.
