I’ve read through many forums, but I still don’t understand the format (structure) of the 2 writing pieces. Any help?
Prac ReportYou had to write the discussion component of a prac report. They pretty much gave you all the information you needed to know in order to write it. There were also a few questions that you had to answer in your discussion. So if you don't know how to structure it, follow the questions and you should be fine.
Science CommunicationThis one is kind of hard to explain and I don't fully know what is required to get a "superior-level" essay for this one. You were given a bunch of information and a prompt to write about. You were also given questions that you needed to answer within your essay. Not sure if my explanation makes that much sense, but yeah.
(I structured it like a standard essay using the TEEL format and somehow got a superior. In spite of this, I don't completely know how you're supposed to write one AHAH.)
Also, does the scientific reasoning test take a lot of time per question?
You have to complete 30 questions in 30 minutes. Speaking from experience, the questions don't take that long to complete. The questions aren't insanely difficult and you should have at least 5-10 minutes to check over answers, guess, etc.
