JMSS Entry Tips

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
same here I have been stuck and I think I am not doing enough but still give it your all !!!
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

This a Motivation Quote for anyone I guess
"ARE YOU WORKING HARD ENOUGH "

Please help

ッUSAッ
can you send the discord study group link please it wont work for me ?

@nuclei I've been doing Icas tests for te past 2 weeks, do you reckon that this method is effective?

Also, does anyone know if the writing tasks are handwritten or typed? Thankyou

JMSSaspirant Yes, the ICAS tests are a good way to familiarise yourself with the SR component.

ucandothis Hi! If you're talking about the exam format, it's accurate. In terms of the content, the actual exam is pretty far from the edutest practice tests, for example there's no reading comprehension or verbal reasoning even though it's in the practice test. I'd say the website would be a better guide.

ucandothis The writing tasks are to be handwritten.

MMHS Is it some what similar to the actual test?

ucandothis From what I remember, they do provide working out paper. As for what you are and aren't allowed, Edutest will send you an email a week or two before the exam with specific details. I'm glad I could help, best of luck!!

eee Personally, and also from what I’ve heard, the JAC trial tests for JMSS is WAY harder than the actual exam. There is no possible way that you could answer some of the question on the JAC trial test in 30 seconds, especially in maths (unless you’re a genius, which I’m not so..). I also have a feeling the science test they provide isn’t really similar to the actual test format as it seems WAY too easy to be true and it’s making me feel a bit scared of the actual test ngl. I hope this helps.

nuclei do u think the EDUTEST mathematics and nr are similar to the jmss exam?

Someonehehehahahoho I'd say the maths and nr edutest practice tests are fairly easier.

If someone got any material relating to the test. Could you please kindly send it to me thru my email and I assure you that material is not going to go anywhere , its fine if you can't send it tho.
Thanks a lot!

how much do you need to know of chemistry and biology for the scientific reasoning section? An online resource said a bunch but my older brother said that you don't really need to know anything. (he didn't get past the test tho)

ucandothis Most of the questions are biology/chemistry related so it's important to be familiar with most concepts. That being said, sr doesn't really rely that much on memorising information. They'll give you about a paragraph of context for most questions and you kind of just have to analyse it to get the answer. The only way I prepared for sr was by doing questions from my yr 9 science textbook and a few icas practice tests which was enough to get me a superior, so don't stress!

science reasoning doesn't require too much knowledge, but the science test itself does require some basic science knowledge. same with numerical reasoning and mathematics, though it may be different for the y10 test as I did the y11 one this year
