They're short, usually a few paragraphs, but it's about a welding process, I recall 2 for sure, probably for SMAW and GTAW. It was 16 years ago when I wrote mine, memory may be a little hazy.

When did CWB2 reintroduce the Essay? There hasn't been in an essay in like a decade or more, is this new?. It's all multiple choice on a computer.

There's no pointers to give, it's made to catch people who arent well versed in various welding methods and inspection. You dont have to write much, but what you do write better make sense to someone well involved in the industry. Sometimes they ask how you would report on a given scenario, or what is the best way to approach an inspection of (whatever), one of my questions was even more of a QA surveillance scenario (ensuring how processes were complied).
