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:
Verbal Reasoning - Superior
Reading Comprehension - Superior
Numerical Reasoning - Superior

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?
