Title: JMSS Science Essay
Post by: winchesteraddict on May 11, 2014, 09:51:46 pm
HI

I wanted to know about the science essay part on the JMSS entrance exam. Is the essay going to be like, 'write an essay about this and this' or are they going to give like a picture or an experiment and we have to explain it by writing an essay.

Help will be appreciated :)

There's two essays, one of them is an experiment/problem that you have to solve, and the other is based off interest (They give you two topics to write about). Hard to study for... Hopefully we don't get something we haven't prepared for! ;o

The year before was Friction and Reaction Rates, which would have screwed me over :P. Luck of the draw I suppose ;)
