Thanks so much
My school isnt that competitive because only 22 people sat the exam and there 340 people in my cohort and there are 12 or so maximum spots, but 5 people got in so 7 are left. But as you said that it depends on the acceptable result and the offers distributed.

rekt_AN congratulations.. I would really appreciate if you can share how did you prepare for creative expression and if you can recommend any coaching or tutors. My results we AA in everything and A in writing. I will still try next year for JMSS.
salma_7052 congratulations !! I would really appreciate if you can share how did you prepare for creative expression and if you can recommend any coaching or tutors. My results we AA in everything and A in writing. I will still try next year for JMSS.
While I didn’t complete any tuition or coaching in preparation for the exam - so I can’t help you in that area - my best advice would be consistent practice under the exam conditions to sharpen your skills in preparation to write fluently.
I completed 1 creative and 1 analytical prompt each week. The most important part of this process is to be actively correcting and setting goals to improve after each attempt. You can do this by consulting a family member, (English) teacher, tutor, or even ATARNotes for feedback.
In terms of resources, here are some prompts/ guides I used (THESE ARE NOT MINE):

Also might want to check out some of the AN articles/ threads around information and resources specific to the JMSS exam.
Good luck
salma_7052 thanks a lot. This will help a lot. Do you know from where we can find past mock tests of Hendersons or James?
No problem
I don’t have much experience with tutors but I’m sure there are others on the thread who could share their knowledge in that area.
I got first round offer from Mac Rob with:

One of my friends got the same as me except average in creative, but didn't get in any schools, is there a chance of her getting in?
