@nuclei what is the best tip for scoring high in science reasoning? Do you recommend hendersons exams for JMSS?
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP

    JMSSaspirant I'd say the science reasoning test wasn't exactly difficult, but there was a fair bit of analysis. It's similar to ICAS, so I'd recommend purchasing some ICAS papers for practice. Other than that, just go over your textbook. Most of the questions in the exam only required a very basic knowledge, especially when it came to physics. As long as you know the basic formulas (force, speed, acceleration, etc.) you'll be fine. Personally, I covered the content in my Year 9 science book, some basic bio unit 1&2 content, and used ICAS for practice and I got a superior in sr so it worked for me. Hope this helps!!

        @nuclei are the question formatted as you read the information from graphs or stats and answer them? Thank you for the advice

          Hi, I am preparing for the JMSS entrance test 2024, thanks for all the useful suggestion. I just wanted to point out that latest ICAS papers are not available, so how to get them as most latest one to be purchased are of 2018 - 2016.
          Hope anyone could help.

            ZehraA Hi! Don't worry, it's not really much of a problem. Those ICAS papers are still relevant so you can still use them for practice. Good luck!!

            JMSSaspirant That's right. From what I remember it was analysing either a graph or a slab of information. There were also more direct questions but they were generally less time consuming. I'm glad I could help!!

                  The tips are so helpful thanks youu.
                  do u have any more tips on the science essay and writing as that is what im struggling on currently.

                    nuclei I was just wondering how the science lab report would be formatted in the exam. If you could go in some depth into the components for the parts, that would be great because I've read online and there's several various ways in writing it up. Hope you can help me out!

                        @JMSSaspirant #p18829 try the 2015 to 2021 icas tests for science reasoning since that helped me with my year 6 to year 7 but that may not be relevant now so do the science reasoning on year 9 instead

                          Hello Everybody, I just wanted to ask the people who are in JMSS and who are practicing for it, did/are you guys remembering the whole periodic table or just a limited amount of elements? Thanks everybody and also thanks for all your tips 🙂

                            atomic Hi! I actually didn't do too well on that component unfortunately, however @Ommahp made a post earlier in this discussion that I think explained it really well. Maybe try sticking to and practicing that format to avoid confusing yourself?

                            JMSSaspirant Yeah, the content is similar in regards to difficulty.

                            Jake65 You definitely don't have to memorise the whole periodic table!!! Just the first 20 elements will do!

                                    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!
