JMSS Entry Tips

Harshil

Like to tell if you got interview or not

Harshil

Not if you got into the school or not

Harshil

Pls @nuclei I really want to know

Harshil probably like in late july, not an exact date yet.

JMSSaspirant Yes! So before you start the interview you hand over a plastic pocket with your CV and last year's semester 2 reports as well as this year's semester 1 reports. When you get to the one-on-one part of the interview, the interviewer will go through your documents in front of you and probably ask questions about them.

Harshil About a month and a half after the test. I would say it depends on how many people sat the exam.

nuclei on SR I’ll probably get around 17/30, In NR I’ll get around 40/50, and in math I’ll get around 54/60. On the writings, I’m not sure about the marking criteria but I’m sure I did well… based on “half the applicants get an interview”, do I have a chance?

JMSSaspirant

nuclei ive asked ChatGPT on how I’d did on the writings and it’s says that I’ll score between 14-16/20 marks

JMSSaspirant

nuclei you think I have a chance?

JMSSaspirant Assuming your estimations are correct, probably. However it's very hard to pinpoint an exact result as it is based on a ranking system. Personally, the section I thought I did the worst in (sr) was the one I got a superior in whereas the one I felt I did the best in (writing) I only ended up getting an average. I think you're overthinking it a bit so don't stress.

yuviiiii

bro i reckon u do, cuz like apparently u have to be sorta like consistent in all of the subjects like if u got three superiors and one at average, 85% u wont get in

yuviiiii

and like lets say if u got three superiors and 2 above averages you'll get in 90% u will get in

yuviiiii

they have a pretty wierd selecting system but I mean to be fair if u think you all superiors except SR, I reckon 75 % you will get in, just pray to god.... 🙏

JMSSaspirant

Cuza half of the applicants get it yuviiiii

JMSSaspirant

yuviiiii just the interview only, half get it.

JMSSaspirant

nuclei youre right lol

JMSSaspirant

nuclei dont mind me asking, what results did you get?

cshar

Does anyone know the total number of applicants for the exam, or a realistic estimate? I heard that there were "over 3000 applicants".

Harshil

cshar I think there were only around 1500 or less

Rey

cshar I was in the afternoon session at jmss and estimated 400 people (10 lines of 40 people). Assuming they used the same seating in the school for morning, that makes 800 and then maybe another 200 in monash uni so I'm guessing 1k people gave it.

Harshil

because around 750 wrote in the morning and 750 at 1:30

Harshil

Because no way they fitted 1500 in both times, when I had mine at 130 and me and my dad felt like there were 500 - 750 people

Harshil

So around 1500 people wrote is my guess
