What Is the Functional Value of the GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment for Management Education? A Critical Analysis, Part 2.

Rogers, Priscilla S.; Rymer, Jone

Management Communication Quarterly, v8 n4 p477-94 May 1995

Analyzes the Analytical Writing Assessment's (AWA) contribution as a performance assessment. Critiques its potential usefulness as a diagnostic tool for management education. Concludes that the AWA does not meet the expectations of GMAT-user schools who endorsed the test as a diagnostic instrument for identifying student deficiencies. States that business schools will have to evaluate the essays locally. (PA)
