While WAT\/AWT and GD can be prepared for and mastered over a relatively short period of time, preparation for the personal interview is a longer process. Hence, that is the area we have dedicated significant amount of space to in this book. In the Written Assessment Test (WAT) and Academic Writing Test (AWT) section, we talk about the reason B-Schools have started to include this section quite regularly in recent times in their evaluation process. We touch upon the key skills that are tested in this section, and the various question types. We follow that up with the recommended approach to tackle each type of WAT question and end with a sample WAT essay constructed bit by bit using the recommended approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne Free Mock Interview with the Author of the Book*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWords, and words are all I have… \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
