Plus if anyone can share their experience (like how hard or easy exam was) it would be great.

For the most part, I worked out of my school textbooks. My school uses Pearson for science and Cambridge for maths (I also purchased an Oxford maths textbook) so I mainly did the questions from those books. I focused on science more since I was doing advanced work for math in class anyway and I ended up covering the entire science book in about two months. Over my three months of preparation, I basically studied at any spare moment. I started with covering content from my textbooks, then as the date of the exam neared I began doing practice exams. I didn't really practice writing since I felt pretty confident in my writing abilities but in the last two weeks or so I did ask ChatGPT for prompts and have my writing marked by it. Overall, I wouldn't recommend my study method as it was very rushed. I relied heavily on prior foundation knowledge and the fact that I was scoring well in both subjects but also had to sacrifice a lot of my social life as I studied for the exam and tried to join activities to put on my CV.

Thanks for this nuclei

      nuclei That's the last stage of the group interview and after that you are seated at a desk and given an extensive NR problem to solve in a minute.

      How hard was it?

      nuclei Then there's another stage where they give you materials and a challenge. For my group, we had to move a small ball from one side of the table to the other with no direct contact.

      Ohh!? Was it easy?

            ッUSAッ

            The NR question was a 3-4 part question from memory. Personally, I didn't finish it and I don't think it matters too much.

            The challenge my group got was fairly easy but while I was waiting for the 1-1 interviews I spoke to a girl in the group before me and she said her group had a robotics one and didn't end up completing it. Again, I don't think it matters too much as long as you show strong leadership because my friend was also in that group and he ended up getting a first round offer.

                Not really. I only used it since I was already confident in my writing and even then it was only to practice a little before the exam. If you do use it, don't worry too much about the mark it gives (rare to get 80%+) and focus on the feedback unless it's telling you to go in more detail. That's useless since you'll only have 30 minutes per piece anyway. It's obviously better to get a teacher to mark your work but unfortunately mine was swarmed with work at the time so I did what I could.

                    nuclei I'd recommend the Henderson exams as I said previously.

                    Did you do the workshops? Where would you get them?

                        nuclei If you do use it, don't worry too much about the mark it gives (rare to get 80%+) and focus on the feedback unless it's telling you to go in more detail.

                        Oh OK...

                          ッUSAッ

                          Nope I got it off a friend. It was the Year 8 one I believe but the content isn't very Year 8 friendly and it was about the same difficulty as the JMSS exam.

                              Are there any good books for N.R.... If anyone knows any, please let me know.

                              Thank you

                              nuclei I know a friend of mine got two superiors but didn't get an interview because of that.

                              Did he get a place though?

                                  Can you get an entry into the school just by getting a good score on the exam? But no interview?

                                    I don't think you can because from what I have heard, the interview is a really big part of the selection process

                                    TT556

                                    No. You must take an interview as the school uses it as an important part of the entrance process.
