The ScoreItNow!^™ Online Writing Practice service contains two options from which you can select: the Practice Option and the Test Experience Option. The cost for each option is US$20 and includes the scoring of essay responses for two Analytical Writing topics for the GRE^® General Test. Feedback includes scores on each submitted essay response and additional scored sample essay responses with reader commentary on the topics on which you have written.

You may purchase additional topics with scored sample essay responses and reader commentary in multiples of two and submit responses anytime within six months from the date of purchase.

Plus, new bonus topics are now available: after you have submitted two essay responses for scoring, you will have the additional option to write and submit essay responses on six FREE bonus topics (three for the Analyze an Issue task and three for the Analyze an Argument task) for more practice. You will receive a score on each essay response that you submit on these bonus topics.

NOTE: Essay responses to the bonus topics may be used in ETS materials to train scorers, in analysis samples and in research studies. In each instance, all identifying information will be removed.

Practice Option:

Which option should you choose?

Select the Practice Option if you want to select topics and have the option of composing your response online or offline. If you compose offline, you will need to copy and paste your response into the ScoreItNow! Online Writing Practice text box before submitting for scoring. You can select to purchase any combination of the two task types, i.e., one each or two alike. You will not be constrained by the time allotment for the Analytical Writing section of the GRE General Test. Remember that your response will be scored based on standards associated with a response written in the actual time allotted for the Analyze an Issue and Analyze an Argument tasks in the GRE General Test.

Select the Test Experience Option if you want to have a similar experience to the one you will have in an actual GRE General Test. Remember, with this option you must compose your responses online and within the time allotted in the actual test.
