Description: The TOEFL and GRE Analytical Writing measures are very different. The TOEFL TWE is not designed to measure higher levels of thinking and analytical writing, but centers instead on command of English vocabulary, grammar, spelling and syntax. Therefore, scores on the two tests are not at all comparable.
Because the TOEFL test emphasizes fundamental writing skills, the TOEFL score can supplement an Analytical Writing score by helping faculty determine whether a low score on the GRE Analytical Writing measure is due to lack of familiarity with English or lack of ability to produce and analyze logical arguments.
