The fact that you can solve Quant problems but struggle with Analytical Writing tells me something useful: you are capable of structured thinking, but you have not yet built a repeatable framework for how to write an essay under timed conditions. Reading sample essays and practicing regularly are good instincts, but without a clear template driving the process, practice tends to reinforce the same uncertainty rather than build confidence.

Here is what I would recommend.

The single most important thing you can do for Analytical Writing is adopt a 5-paragraph essay structure and use it every time. That means an introduction, three supporting paragraphs (each built around one clear point), and a conclusion. This is not about being formulaic for the sake of it. It is about removing the decision-making that eats up your time. When you sit down on test day and already know the shape of your essay before you read the prompt, you free up mental energy for the part that actually matters: developing your arguments.

On the argument side, the mistake most students make is trying to come up with the "best" position or the most impressive examples. That is a time trap. When you read the prompt, go with whatever position you are naturally drawn to first. The position that feels most obvious to you is almost always the one you can write about most convincingly, because you already have supporting reasons forming in your mind. Pick two or three of those reasons, and that is your essay. You do not need to be original. You need to be clear, organized, and specific. Each supporting paragraph should open with the point you are making, develop it with reasoning or an example, and connect it back to your overall position.

For time management, spend the first two to three minutes planning before you write a single sentence. Jot down your position and your two or three supporting points on scratch paper. That short planning step prevents the biggest time killer of all, which is writing a paragraph, realizing it does not go anywhere, and having to restructure mid-essay. Once you start writing, treat each sentence as close to finished before moving on. You will not have five or ten minutes at the end for major revisions. At most, you might have a minute or two for a quick read-through to catch obvious errors.

It is also worth knowing what the graders are actually looking for. Both the human scorer and the computer program that evaluates your essay place more emphasis on how well your ideas are organized and articulated than on perfect grammar and spelling. That means a clearly structured essay with well-supported arguments will outscore a grammatically flawless essay that wanders or lacks a clear position. The average Analytical Writing score across all GRE test-takers is about a 3.5, and a score of 5.0 puts you in roughly the 91st percentile. So there is meaningful room to separate yourself just by being organized and direct.

One more thing: you mentioned struggling with Verbal Reasoning as well. If you are finding that the Analytical Writing difficulty is connected to broader challenges with reading and reasoning in English, it may help to build those skills in parallel. Vocabulary depth is a significant lever on GRE Verbal, especially at higher score levels, and improving your comfort with complex language will benefit both your reading comprehension and the precision of your writing. A structured GRE prep course that sequences topics and tracks your accuracy can make a big difference here, because it removes the guesswork about what to study and whether you are actually improving.

To get the most out of your remaining prep time, I would practice writing timed essays using prompts from the official ETS Pool of Issue Topics. Write one or two per week using the 5-paragraph template, and after each one, review it honestly: did each paragraph have a clear point, did you support it with reasoning, and did the essay flow logically from start to finish? That kind of targeted review is where the improvement comes from, not from writing dozens of essays without analyzing what is and is not working.
