JMSS Entry Tips

eeee

Sleepy this might sound bad but trust, glaze your extracurricular (even my JAC tutor told us too), basically make even the simple ones sound rlly good. I put swimming, tennis (even though I don't do these sports professionally nor competitively), piano, clarinet, interschool math games rep, Chinese + advanced math coaching school (idek why i put this) + 2022, 2024 council rep

eeee

eeee achievements were primary school Deakin Shield, 2022-2024 academic achievements/endeavour), chinese medals, and a 10% math olympiad cert. sooo...deff not that insane but keep a good variety of academics/sports/languages n music even tho i didn't rllyy

Sleepy

eeee

Are you sure, I know somebody who didnt get a interview with 2 superiors, 2 high averages and a above average

aypricott

Cartick20 theres also a 3 percent cap on the amount of students taken from one cohort. The person ur talking abt probably js tried out from a competitive school.

shanmukhi

aypricott oh i thought it was just the top 600 of ppl doing the test get the interview. r u sure theres a 3% rule?

Cartick20

aypricott so what do u think would be a good or minimum score to get you in

shanmukhi "More than 5000 students sat the entrance exam in 2024 for the 200 places on offer in Year 10 (100 males & 100 females), where a 3% rule applies, stating that no more than 3% of the school's Year 10 cohort can be part of a single school. There are also a limited number of places for Year 11, with the number ranging from 30 to 40 students, depending on the cohort size. Typically, more than 400 prospective students apply for Year 11 entrance admission. The 3% rule does not apply to Year 11 entry."

KingYen my tuition teacher said only 1.2k sat it last year😭

KingYen

Sleepy Ah! My apologies, I should check where wikipedia got their numbers from! I'll let you know once I found out!

Sleepy

KingYen haha np I’ve been trying to look around there aren’t many places that have numbers

KingYen

Sleepy Wikipedia didn't provide anything about the number. Classic. I'd assume 1.2k sat the test. Where did you tuition teacher get the number from?

Eraser

ain't no way more than 2k people are sitting the JMSS test

KingYen

Eraser That's what I thought too!

Eraser

KingYen and anyways, are you doing the jmss test??

KingYen

Eraser No I didn't do it. I'm just here to help those doing selective, John Monash or anything really! It's all about helping people here! I had a few friends do the test though!

Sleepy

KingYen I’m not 100% sure but she goes to monash uni and is an ex jmss student so she has some connections ig

KingYen

Sleepy Ohhh ok, that would make a lot of sense then! I'll take your word!

KingYen

Sleepy I heard that they interview the top 600 and then choose 200 people! Is this information correct or does it seem to be misleading?
