To be completely honest I did some light studying for only around a month and I am only just starting my "hardcore" study now/recently. I'm certainly becoming stressed out as I want to attend but I'm just revising over practice tests from tutoring and compiling my notes around year 9 science curriculum topics, I'm also going to be doing numerous timed practice scientific essays/reports with the aid of chat gpt to give some feedback.

That's just a quick snapshot of what I'm doing but at the end of the day just try your best and give it your all, one test won't determine your entire future. Hoping we all get in for 2025!

      eee I only study for around 1 hour per day, otherwise, I find myself getting distracted quickly and unable to focus, just find the study method that works best for you and stick to it. (I also used chat gpt to generate a study schedule for 30 days revolving around year 9 science/math topics. I'd recommend if you feel overwhelmed by the amount of content you need to learn in such a small period of time.

          eee Thanks for your help. It gives me Little hope but by any chance do you have free resources that you are willing to share? And what is the structure for the essay and what are you meant to do for scientific multiple choice.

          Thanks a lot, good luck !!

              Unfortunately sharing resources from my tutoring centre could potentially result in me getting In trouble as I believe it is against the rules (so sorryyy) your best friend (one of my favourite resources) will be a good word doc and chat gpt, ask it questions relating to the year 9 curriculum breaking down explanations, examples and even quiz questions to test your knowledge. GL ( I also use science books, workbooks and maths textbooks from school)

              • eee replied to this.

                  eee The essay structure ( I think) will be 1) A scientific report consisting of an aim, hypothesis, method, discussion with validity, reliability... conclusion etc. (again you can ask chat gpt for feedback on this. 2) A "creative" essay where you receive a prompt and use some light scientific knowledge to create a creative-ish but mainly scientific piece basically following the report structure less and more focusing on your interpretation of the information given.

                  The scientific multiple choice will be based off the year 9 curriculum topics so your textbooks or resources from school would really be beneficial for this (or chat gpt bahah). Basically, everything is to test the extent of your general science knowledge. (idk if that made sense, if you scroll up the explanations are much better.

                    is it impossible to get into jmss if i start studying now?
                    also could you provide some sample questions for science report and informative essay?

                      At this point im just cramming stuff up
                      The maths bit im just practising JAC questions i had last yr for selective
                      i still dont understand the science repots and stuff
                      for science reasoning am i just supposed to study yr 9 science book??
                      plss helpp

                        Do u guys have any time management tips during the tests?? Especially for maths and NR? Currently that’s what I’m struggling with. Also has anyone found the strive for excellence practice tests useful?

                          Hii,

                          I'm a former student who attended both JAC and Brain works, and in my opinion, I don't think that either of those will prepare you extremely well, unless you take a JAC course that includes trial test, as it may help you get into the habit of time management. I recommend you take a year higher as well in order to gain the best chance in learning and studying for the test.

                          Goodluck!!

                              One of my friends went there but said it was nothing like the real test, the tutoring questions were way easier

                                  niv3 no problem, if you want practice you can always use OZ tests

                                      nomiiie are the questions in the science reasoning like interpreting information from a graph or data and answering them?

                                        I've been doing icas practise papers for about 2 weeks. Do you reckon that it'll help me?

                                        HELPP me reading everyones thoughts on the JAC tests and how they won't prepare me or are much easier then the actual exam have got me tripping, I'm already finding those hard OMLL, I'm done for and I haven't been studying as much as I should. 😭😭

                                          eee idk if everyone's talking about the online practise tests or generic JAC course's. If anyone took the specific JMSS course at JAC please let me know if it was easier or harder because I'm ngl Im falling behind and not doing too well.

                                              eee

                                              I don't know if I asked you or not and I may have said this to everyone but by chance are you willing to send any Test papers PDF on science topics and formats that could help me if you do not want to send them here I can send my email to you if you are willing to send it. Please HELP
