Each real GMAT question is tested out for some period as an experimental (un-scored) question in actual GMAT. After enough testing these questions are classified into difficulty levels based on the responses it received in the GMAT.
Because, there are lots of experimental questions in your real GMAT which don’t get counted in your performance. They appear randomly and a test taker just cannot identify (with 100% confidence) whether the given question is experimental or real.
I checked my blog (front side of the blog) after so many days. The fonts and site design looks old-fashioned, kind-of ‘classic’. Yes, then default theme TwentyTen for the WordPress has officially become classic. I’ll re-design my websites soon.
…It’ll save you time and money. Use what is already there in the market- ‘ready-made’, ready to use. I remember, in college, I used to derive the math formula (in physics and calculus exam) if it doesn’t come to me off by heart. How silly of me, wasting precious time during test, deriving (reinventing?) what is universally accepted and given.
Fast forward to adulthood (the business decisions & real life scenarios): Compared to ready-to-use solutions out there, the do-it-yourself approach looks cheaper and attractive. You’re always tempted to use custom solution, tailor-made exclusively for you. But these often cheaper (or free as what they appear on the surface) solutions cost you a lot of time and end up very expensive in maintenance. You’d rather want to spend your time where it matter more than building something that is readily available. The customization or specialization that you may achieve in developing would hardly hardly make a difference of 10-20%.
I learned from the experience and the experiments but now I agree with the Hindi phrase महंगा रोये एक बार, सस्ता रोये बार बार ! for most of the cases.
You certainly cannot ‘expect (or estimate)’ your final score. You can’t calculate your score based on number of correct answers given. It’s not directly proportional to your score.
AWA section checks your ability to analyze the reasoning in a given statement and to assess critical flaws in argument. It also checks your writing ability to have a critical review on certain issue. Grammar plays less important role in AWA, you have verbal section to assess it.

Yes. A computer program named E-rater, along with a human examiner (/grader) evaluates essays in AWA section.
AWA consists of essays that get reviewed and evaluated by examiners. Since there are no examiners sitting on the other side of computer to review your essays ‘real time’, it takes time to calculate the score in scale of 6.0
