The “Write” Tool for B-School
With the Business Writing Assessment, admissions teams at participating schools will gain valuable insights into how you synthesize and convey complex ideas.
Within a 30-minute timeframe, you will be tasked with analyzing a brief argument. Rather than sharing your personal perspective, the objective is to critique the argument's reasoning and evidence objectively and cohesively.
A well-structured, persuasive response will demonstrate to schools that you have the logical reasoning and communications skills necessary to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Assessment Format
The Business Writing Assessment is a 30-minute, online writing assessment that asks you to analyze the reasoning behind a given argument, and then write a critique of that argument. You will need to evaluate the line of reasoning and the use of evidence presented in the argument.
The arguments include a range of topics relevant to both business and general interest. Specific knowledge of the topic is not required. Learn more about essay questions here.
Scoring
Each assessment is evaluated using a standardized rubric, scoring in one-point increments on a scale of 0 to 6. Within 3-5 days of completing the Business Writing Assessment, you will receive your score. You can send your results for free to participating schools. Learn more about scoring here.
