hello guys i am trying out for jmss this year and i have not started. I took a lot of time off bc after the sets test i was really burnt out nd tried focusing on myself. I really want to get in and i know i have 3 months but a lot of people dont study for this test. My strong suit is math and science but i am scared for nr and science writing. Does anyone have any tips? My sister went jac tutoring for jmss and im doing her books but idk what else to do.

      guys whats the structure for the science essay writing not the report one?

      A basic essay structure an intro 3 ish body paragraphs and a conclusion

      introduction or no? also do they give you three arguments kind of to write it abour

      Sierra i did see a post about just revising year 8 and 9 topics for maths and science(fort the reasoning). I think mainly try practicing science writing tasks since apparently it'll be one of the harder tests to do. Probably a way to practice is byt just writing a bunch of reports and essays on science related topics to really get the hang of it if ur not used to it

        yes to intro, not exactly to giving 3 arguments. Prompts might be slightly different but they give u a bunch of info and maybe they'll give you a few statement to guide your piece. For example, the prompt might be oil spills and they'll give u a bunch of info and statistics, and they might say 'write an essay outlining the significance of oil spills and how to reduce them'. From this you might be able to get a basic outline of what ur paragraphs need to be

        Yeah, there is two types of writing, there is science analysis and reporting an science intrest and communication.
        For analysis and reporting it will pretty much tell you to write or complete a scientific report.
        For interest and communication, it will either ask you to express your thoughts or discuss about something. They will prob give you a page with stats and like one or two articles as reference for your essay.

        guys this is kinda random but approx how many people in your school r taking the exam this year? My grade probably has atleast 30-50 kids trying

          lols im a year 8 but same probably for me like 20 to 30
