Ty for tips everyone, I am also going for jmss entry 2025. I currently use strive for excellence practice tests, EDUTEST maths and numerical tests and icas for science. I was wondering if these sources are similar to the actual exam (for people who have used them), and how many questions exactly do we need to get right to get superior? I heard that to get a superior for mathematics you need to score >45/60. Is this true? What about science reasoning and numerical?

Also for science report, I've heard they give you a page of like methodology and results and ask you to write a discussion, do you only write a discussion? like as in do you need to write a complete science report, or are you supposed to leave out the parts already given?

Does anyone know what the most popular topic on the test will be? or have a prediction?

IDON'TGIVEUP that kinda depends on how smart u r now, if you aren't like rlly smart already I would say its nearly impossible to get into selective from 30 days of preparation, because it is significantly harder and competitive than yr9. Jmss however, from what I have heard, is fairly easy and not much studying is needed, so you def hv a chance for jmss

    what do I need to learn for JMSS and help with Science Reasoning and writing please help me is the format and the topics that need to be covered If anyone has any practice paper for the science part if they are willing to give please help!

      Hi everyone,
      I just wanted to say I really appreciate all of the tips so far,

      I am also studying to try get into JMSS (2025) and I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience with JAC tutoring as In school (current year 9 curriculum) I am able to achieve much better grades compared to the JAC practise tests (only around 40-60%) which Is around the average however the top marks are around 80-100 so it's definitely started to stress me out as a lot of the content has not been taught in school.

      Adding on to that I am finding the maths on the JAC practise tests insanely difficult to the point I'm unable to complete them, when I am able to achieve better grades at school, olympiads or math competitions.

      If anyone has some advice on what I should do that would be greatly appreciated! (sorry that sounds really broad and confusing but I'm starting to get stressed out as the examination date gets nearer.)

        Hi, if you scroll up Ommahp posted a really thorough and detailed response to this question which I believe will really benefit you as it helped me a lot, just the second post.

          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 !!
