The Analytical Writing Section score is not needed for my graduate program, so I have been planning on skipping it. However, I called the ETS customer service number and they told me that if you skip it there can be issues with your score or it can even be canceled. I can’t tell if this is what they have to say to get people to stop skipping it, or if it is true. Does anyone know??
You can skip it if you really want to - you’ll get a “NS” for it. But why not try it for fun?
Note that you will still get a quant/verbal score.
