GRE Analytical Writing -AW Test

Deborah S. Briihl and David T. Wasieleski both of Valdosta State University in 2007 surveyed graduate programs to see how they use the Graduate Record Examination Analytic Writing (GRE-AW) Test.

Only 35% of the graduate programs that responded use the GRE-AW test in their admission policy; of the programs not using it, most do not plan to do so.

The programs using the GRE-AW rated it as medium or low in importance in their admission decisions.

Few programs have cutoff scores.

Approximately 8% reported using an initial validation study; about half reported considering or running an ongoing validation study.
