Hi Tommy,

I understand that users are posting "n" no of essays and it is practically not possible for Manhattan GRE team to comment on each one of them.

But it would be great to receive the score of the essay that are the part of six Full length GRE Tests that are provided Free with the Manhattan Prep books.

The exams are excellent with amazing explanation for verbal and quant part , but would be great to get a score for essay part too.

Hey Swati,

We hear you. Unfortunately, there simply isn't enough time/manpower at our offices to grade all the essays from all the students who take our classes or read our books. As an instructor, I offer to read the essays of any of my students; we just can't do it for people who only buy the books. I recommend you find some readers on your own (native English speakers, preferably engaged in some profession that requires a lot of reading), and check in with them. Remember, the GRE essay is very unimportant. It's just a check that you have facility with the English language, not a test of style. : )
