GRE Open Course You are free to organize and develop your response in any way that you think will effectively communicate your position on the issue and address the specific task instructions. Your response may, but need not, incorporate particular writing strategies learned in English composition or writing-intensive college courses. GRE readers will not be looking for a particular developmental strategy or mode of writing; in fact, when GRE readers are trained, they review hundreds of Analyze an Issue responses that, although highly diverse in content and form, display similar levels of critical thinking and persuasive writing. (From ETS)
You should use as many or as few paragraphs as you consider appropriate for your argumentfor example, you will probably need to create a new paragraph whenever your discussion shifts to a new cluster of ideas. What matters is not the number of examples, the number of paragraphs, or the form your argument takes but, rather, the cogency of your ideas about the issue and the clarity and skill with which you communicate those ideas to academic readers. (From ETS)
