          aarna oh haha i hv the Oxford on through school already but thx

              st06 hi!!! i didn't do JMSS myself but my close friend got in. she was also lacking in english and science, and what she used to do was borrow senior textbooks (usually bio, physics and chem) from the library and practice from them! all selective exams are always 1-2 years above the year level curricula, so working from senior textbooks always ensures that you have a strong grasp of the topics that will probably be on the test.
              you can also make flashcards etc of these topics and practice daily in the morning, sort of like a routine.

              for writing, that's something that comes with practice unfortunately. you just have to keep on writing. i also advice reading widely and frequently. your local library is an amazing resource with plenty of books.

                  aarna lol those links won't work anyway because you are accessing the file through YOUR hardware and like the stuff which is on your hard drive wont be on other ppl's hard drives
                  ykwim?
                  like you are accessing your drive using Google or whatever, but that link will only open your file on your drive

                      4 days later

                      do you guys think i could get better at science before the exam? because there is only two months left and idk which book to start with. I have one year 9 science textbook so i might start reading that.

                        also, does anyone have examples of science writing pieces that are really good?

                        st06 u could definitely do quite a bit in two months, I’m assuming ur in yr 9 so when going through the textbook maybe try and do any topics that you won’t cover in school before the exam so ur not doing things twice

                          But u should also try and do practice tests because they will help with time management
