You needn't ALWAYS write 3 examples in the GMAT essays, but we do strongly suggest that you do. These essays don't ask us to re-invent the wheel in terms of writing. Instead the test just wants us to construct solid arguments. The best way to do that is to make an assertion (thesis), and then back it up with 2-3 supporting points (body paragraphs). We should never use fewer than 2 examples, or more than 3. Thanks for the comment! Cheers, The Knewton Team Hey thanks for reading our blog!

From this, "she does deviate slightly from the suggested model by giving two examples rather than three", do u suggest to always write 3 examples ?
