    Tent33!! I don't have much on the test, because I haven't gotten my results yet, but I do remember the interview. When you first go in with your group, someone will run an icebreaker, which I don't believe was assessed, but it's still worth talking. Mine was to find something we all had in common.
    After that, there was an ordering activity. The scenario was that we were stranded in an island and we had a bunch of items we were supposed to order by importance. Again, all you can really do is be involved.
    Then there was an activity where you had to make a course for a spherical object to land in the middle of an masking tape 'X', it was pretty easy. I also heard some people got one where they had to make a ramp for a toy car instead.
    That was the end of the group part, and there was a maths test. It inly had 1-2 questions, and it was relatively simple. Mine was a grid going 1-10, 2-11, 3-12, etc, in each column. The question was just adding stuff up. My friend got one where a number was divided, multiplied, and you had to work backwards ti get the number.
    Finally, there's the 1-1 interview. It'll be in a little booth, and it's likely that you'll get a Monash uni student. They'll give you a minute to read over the questions, and then it'll start.
    The questions were things like 'Why do you like science?' or 'What other priorities do you have and how do you manage them', then there were some about climate change, scientific inventions/discoveries, and then about your future plans.
    That's it from me, good luck!!

      Hello,
      I recently did the John Monash test for year 10 entry and didn’t get the interview sadly.I was wondering If i could ask to reconsider their choice since no one in my school got the interview.(The 3% Rule)
      I was also wondering If i could send my test results to Melbourne High and Nossal to ask if i can get in.Since they also used to run with Edutest last year.
      Thank You

            Guys, doing the test this year, is the test fairly hard or fairly easy. Just want to understand the concepts whether many people struggled or not since I have to get into this school (pressure from home). I am in a SEAL class in Glen Waverly. Does it involve year 10 science. I have been taking notes on yr 8, 9 & 10 science for all science topics. @ Is it like ICAS paper, easier or harder than that? Is the writing component basically a persuasive piece, or a discussion, conclusion or method. Do I have to know many things before hand. Pls help to those who have experience. Because you may not believe me but my life is dependent on this test. pls
