Guys, doing the test this year, is the test fairly hard or fairly easy. Just want to understand the concepts whether many people struggled or not since I have to get into this school (pressure from home). I am in a SEAL class in Glen Waverly. Does it involve year 10 science. I have been taking notes on yr 8, 9 & 10 science for all science topics. @ Is it like ICAS paper, easier or harder than that? Is the writing component basically a persuasive piece, or a discussion, conclusion or method. Do I have to know many things before hand. Pls help to those who have experience. Because you may not believe me but my life is dependent on this test. pls

      matureagedstudent depends on school, private school kids wouldn't really care. But I could somewhat agree with u on some public schools.

          StudyKing the test is fairly hard, buts its not that difficult to get an interview. I got an interview last year with 2 sups, 2 above averages, and 1 average.

              .. Is the math like extremely hard? Yr 10 level like trig and parabolas and hyperbolas?

                  What about writing

                        StudyKing yeh it involves chemical formulas and stuff. I'll be frank I barely remember anything from last years SR test but it was majority year 8 and 9 stuff and a small amount was year 10. I got sup in it but all I really did was do practice tests and read science books.

                            StudyKing maths was easy. But there were like 1 parabola and 1 trig question, very small amount.

                              .. I can help, I'm really good at writing.

                                  Hey everyone, I am trying JMSS this year and i really hope to get in. MY math and NR are fairly good, so i won't really mind that. But i am concerned about the 3 science tests. Can someone please explain what those 3 tests are in detail and how to prepare.
                                  Thanks alot
