The analytical portion is not being phased out, but it is being changed. Beginning next year (fall, I believe), the analytical portion will be an "Analytical Writing" section. It will be two separate writing tests... for one, the examinee will write a passage taking a position on some issue (I imagine some current events issue). On the other section, they will critique an argument. The test will be scored on a 1-6 scale by two independent raters. If there is any significant disagreement with their ratings, a third rater will be brought in.
