How is the Analytical Writing section administered?
The Analytical Writing section is administered via computer. On Test Day, it will be the first section you encounter. The essay prompts are delivered onscreen, and you must use the elementary word processing system provided to enter and submit your essay response. Word processing commands are limited to Insert Text, Delete Text, Cut, Paste, and Undo Last Action so that test-takers who are not familiar with word processing systems are not at a disadvantage. The word processor does not include a grammar check or a spell check.
