Section 1
Analytical Writing Assessment
Analysis of an Argument
30 Minutes
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to
analyze the line of reasoning and use of evidence in the argument. For example,
you may need to consider the author’s assumptions that are questionable and
produce alternative explanations or counterexamples for weakening the author’s
conclusion. You can produce evidences for refuting the argument and making it
more logically sound.
Sample
The following appeared as part of article in a daily newspaper:
“The Computerized on –board warning system that will be installed in
commercial airliners will virtually solve the problem of midair collisions. One
plane’s warning system can receive signals from another’s transponder-a radio
set that signals a plane’s course-in order to determine the likelihood of a
collision and recommend evasive action.”

Reading Comprehension
In 1988 services moved ahead of manufacturing as the main product
of the United States economy. But what is meant by “services”? Some
economists define a service as something that is produced and
consumed simultaneously, for example, a haircut. The broader,
classical definition is that a service is an intangible something that
cannot be touched or stored. Yet electronic utilities can store energy,
and computer programmers save information electronically. Thus,
the classical definition is hard to sustain.
The United States government’s definition is more practical: services
are the residual category that includes everything that is not
agriculture or industry. Under the definition, services include
activities as diverse as engineering and driving a bus. However,
besides lacking a strong conceptual framework, this definition fails to
recognize the distinction between service industries and service
occupations. It categorizes workers based on their company’s final
product rather than on the actual work the employees perform.
Thus, the many service workers employed by manufacturers –
bookkeepers or janitors, for example – would fall under the industrial
rather than the services category. Such ambiguities reveal the
arbitrariness of this definition and suggest that, although practical for
government purposes, it does not accurately reflect the composition
of the current United States economy.
The author of the passage is primarily concerned with
A. discussing research data underlying several definitions
B. arguing for the adoption of a particular definition
C. exploring definitions of a concept
D. comparing the advantages of several definitions
E. clarifying some ambiguous definitions
Four additional questions...
Sample
A city plans to attract new citizens with new housing and new facilities such as
parks, recreation centers, and libraries. One component of the city’s plan is to
require that developers seeking permission to build this new housing provide
these additional facilities at no cost to the city.
Which of the following, if true, would point to a possible flaw in the city’s plan?
A. Light, non-polluting industries have located in the area, offering more jobs and better paying jobs
than do the more-established industries in the area.
B. Other towns and cities nearby have yet to embark on any comparable plans to attract new citizens.
C. Most developers see the extra expense of providing municipal facilities as simply one of the many
costs of doing business.
D. Developers would pass along their costs to the buyer, thereby raising the cost of housing
units beyond the ability of likely purchasers to afford them.
E. Studies show that purchasers of new houses, especially first-time buyers, rank recreational resources
as an important factor in deciding to buy a particular house.

Editor's Notes

  1. Here is a sample question… Read statement and question…
  2. A few differences with IR questions… Use of a on-screen calculator Ability to click through tabs May have multiple questions related to the same data / information Read text in green box…i.e. “Here is a Multi-Source Reasoning question…” Show answer
  3. Read text in green box…”Here is a Table Analysis question…” You can manipulate the data from the drop-down tool The text under the table tells you about the table contents The question is to the right Show answer
  4. Read text in green box “This is a Graphics Interpretation question…” Here you have a graph, information about the graph to the right, and questions with drop-down lists Show answer
  5. Read text in green box… “This is a Two-Part Analysis question…” Show answer
  6. You will have an optional break…8 minutes (I believe) Then you will have the Quantitative Reasoning section – 75 minutes to answer 37 questions
  7. You will have an optional break…8 minutes (I believe) Then you will have the Quantitative Reasoning section – 75 minutes to answer 37 questions
