acedemic_achiver OH HELLL NOOO, I also attended JAC and It was absolutely useless and a waste of time (in my opinion). I would spend every lesson daydreaming and on TikTok, apart from the writing prompts which you could probably get from chat gpt, the tests they give you are way harder than the actual test. (I was getting below 50% for all my math tests and roughly 50-80% for the science ones. Your better off studying a general Yr 9 science curriculum and getting some edutest practice tests since their really similar. I only started studying 1-2 months before the exam date and cramming the night before. If your doing well in math and science at school there's really no point. Just work on time management.

      cshar noo cus I legit did my edutest practise the night before

          eee the night before I was prepping for my Humanities exam on the following Monday because I thought I was screwed for hums

              Does anyone know if we need to bring anything to the jmss year 10 course confirmation interview?

                cshar Dates from last year's handbook

                JMSS Year 10 Information Night is on Thursday, 5th October 2023

                Fill out the web preferences online by Thursday, 12 October 2023. You have an individual login and password. You will find instructions for filling in web preferences in your Forms and Documents(Which will be ent via mail)

                Fill in the forms for Parent Payments, Transition and Orientation Camp, and bring them to Course Confirmation Interviews. These forms will be sent physically via mail. All students will be interviewed with their parents about their proposed course pathway and have their subjects for 2024 confirmed. Parents will be emailed about the exact date and time of these interviews. At this interview parents will also receive the booklist, there will be an opportunity to make subject payments, and Music and Orientation Camp fees are due at this time.All new students are expected to be at JMSS on for Orientation Day on Wednesday, 6th December. On this day students will meet their mentors, be given a buddy, and get to know some of the other new students. Details about this day will be given at the course confirmation interview in November.

                Maths Methods Assessment For those students wanting to complete accelerated Maths in Year 10 there is compulsory assessment to assess student readiness for acceleration on Monday 16 October, 2023 at 3.30pm.

                All students in Year 10 will attend a 2-day Orientation Program (non-residental), beginning on Tuesday, 30 January 2024 and running until Wednesday, 31 January 2024. Orientation is held during the day, within the campus of Monash University. There will also be further orientation on Wednesday, 7 February.

                    mnm thanks, but do we need to bring school reports?

                      James Ann is generally pretty solid, but in my opinion doing the Edutest Samples helped me a lot for getting into JMSS. If you are looking to purchase the test packs I suggest getting the yr10 and yr9 packs. Now, Edutest sample will mainly cover your math prep, but if you do notice if you have any weak points you might want to practice more. In addition you can find plenty of practice questions for math online (free/paid). Now the scores you should be getting should be at 18+/20 and you should be able to finish them in at most 12mins. As for science prep, I suggest revising the yr7-9/10 Science curriculum and doing ICAS science as a practice exam as it gives you a good opportunity to practice your skills.

                          10 days later

                          Hey guys! I am interested in doing JMSS and wondering if there are any science textbooks which could help me with science theory work? (Ik that ICAS science papers are popular but which year level's papers do I get?) Is it necessary to memorise the WHOLE periodic table for this exam?

                            Also what is the question : time ratio per test?

                            KDC um for text books idrk probs just ur normal yr 9 science textbook but dont take my word for it but for the periodic table you dont need to memorise the whole table like probs just around the first 20 elements will help you and its also important to know like their ionic charges but like you dont need to memorise the whole table

                                KDC Soo much easier than i thought honestly, i went tution 6 hours of science week it ll felt so useless when doing the actual test but i got some much practice out of it so it was worth it. I got into jmss for 2025 and i think you should just really focus on the 2 essays because they arent even hard.

                                    Use this textbook, if you feel that you need to boost your scientific knowledge or if you need to fill some gaps in your knowledge. However, in my opinion just doing really well in your school's science class (like consistent A+ and As) and paying full attention to your science teacher's lectures should put you in a really strong position to perform well in the Science Reasoning Test.

                                      does anyone know what hapens at the december orientation day? because i will be overseas
