These are excellent tactics, giving the student many different perspectives in their search for a solution.” “What the book strives to provide are instructions on how to focus on the ideas presented and then how to turn those focused responses into written results. The concepts posed are realistic and the authors take great pains to make sure the examples the students are given are positive influences on how the students think and respond in writing.” “I love it, it helped me with the real test. Highly recommended, very useful, well organized, a lot of new vocabulary in each essay.” “Excellent book, helped me a lot with my English composition. I would entirely recommend this book. Really clean and great writing process”

This book is a scam. DON'T BUY!!! This book did not have any feedback from a scorers perspective and gave very cheesy essay responses. MOST of the essays were written in first person and rambled on to make their point "my aunt Sally graduated valedictorian, went to Brown University BLAH BLAH BLAH. Seriously its very easy to find flaws in these essays. It continuously assumes things are not true and the essays were too confusing.The only time it gives you tips is the first page of the section (1 page for issue topic, 1 page for argumentative). Gee thanks, I just bought two pages of advice that I already knew for 13$! There was no insightful points just monologue. I would of wished it wrote the essays like the ETS examples or the ones from barrons, Kaplan, and the others. The difference is night and day. These essays are very dangerous mainly because you can lose your argument in the fat of describing your vacation to Mt. Rushmore or stupid stuff like that. They are not compelling and it easy to get confused if you have already looked at what the other books are telling what you should avoid (first person-even though is not recommended, lack of depth, lack of tying it back to your Major point). I just say stay out of this book without knowing the theory behind it I would hate to see people fail this portion because of lame models.
I bought this book to supplement my GRE study schedule and believe I only did 4 or 5 of the essay prompts out of ~40. Maybe it's because I hate writing and wasn't forcing my self to do the prompts but I did not have a use for this book. And for the prompts I did complete, the sample essays were difficult to compare your writing sample to. It was helpful to see what the different samples were scored as but I was not sure how to improve my own writing without another's criticism. I still scored a 4.5 on the writing which is good enough for me.
It is a great start for understanding the basics of Analytical writing. A must have!
Awesome book !
