2.     Brainstorm for 5 minutes:

To write a creative essay, you need to think. So, brainstorming for 5 minutes on how to start, what is the main point to focus on, and how to end, or how to sum up. Also, plan the points to be included in the essay. Once the focused points are clear, start developing the key points, and make sure you have enough points for a 500-word essay.

3.     Write in 20 Minutes:

Make sure to finish writing down in 20 minutes, because the remaining 3 minutes are needed for editing. Concentrate on the structure of the essay, introduction, body, and conclusion. This format has its score separately in GRE. In this format, introduce your essay in the first paragraph summarizing the points you cover in the body of the content.

When it comes to body, it can be elaborated as required. The best way to have a word count handy is to count lines, as one line can have 10-12 words.
