Chakraboi don't think most kids were 'dumb as' but ok. Ig the content was hard for me at first especially since i started like 3/5ths or 1/2 of the way through the yearly program. But at the time of simulation i was pretty much getting 80% and higher. However, don't rely on james an to be 100% accurate, they are not but so are all other tutoring centers. I think james an just prepares students for the worst, and has them have to do content that is unnecessary, the real test was probably a bit harder than james an tests. But anyways, you still have a while to go till the test, so don't get complacent, brush up on your skills, its good you have completed tt8 but remember, you are competing against around 3500 other people, excluding girls (for mhs). around 310 or smth get in mhs, and 1300+ put mhs first. I mean your chances are good but also you never know. I am attending mhs this year (if thats the school ur aiming for). Remember to also dedicate time to activities other than studying. Sports, music and recreational things are great for you too. Also, one more thing. People at my james an center kept bragging about getting 90+% on every test, but they didn't get a spot in sehs. This was just something common i picked up lol

      MMHS alr bettt thanks. Just gotta establish and touch up some of my weak areas and i think i should go alright at least.

            Chakraboi yes, and also, keep a strong, positive attitude, this helps a lot. If you look back at the forums made in 2024 for last years year 8 students (including me), we were practically all doubting ourselves big time.

                MMHS i doubted i would get in also, js keep a positive attitude and check your emails for selection process updates unlike me, smh

                  so in essence, believe in urself, keep some confidence, dont feel overconfident but dont doubt urself 👍

                  I strongly agree because back in year 6 I was extremely confident and because of that I had failed many exams including an accelerator program at my high school, as I didn't even study for it or cared.
                  I was very sad because many of my friends have gotten into accelerator programs at their high school but then I had finally realized that to succeed in life you must study and work for it which was then I made a promise to myself that I would work hard for everything no matter what it was.
                  Also I strongly recommend you watch Arnav Kadian's selective school journey which definitely motivated me to do better as he was really inspirational to me.

                    chxin theyre hard copy (paper) 🙁 wish i had online resources lol would make it so much easier to share and access (i've lost the same stuff lots of times)

                      Chakraboi good luck on that btw, dont stress yourself before the exams, especially the time before, js relax and try to moderate your study rate, ik this sounds misleading, but dont try to 'over-study' in certain periods, such as cramming

                      i recommend making a plan and study for a set amount on a set time each day until the test, do tests and time yourself under mock tests if you have access to any, this can pressure yourself (although this does contradict my previous statement) and allow yourself to adapt to the test environment

                      wish you all the best on the test❗️

                          for further advice/materials, there should be stuff i posted earlier on my profile, js scroll until you see a link or a whole essay

                          This year I will be in year 7 but currently I'm preparing for the SEHS test so I can get into Nossal or MHS

                          chxin Why do you have Maurya in your gmail is it because of Mauryan Broski or are you Indian because Maurya is mainly from India.
                          (Just asking)

                              MMHS that makes me scared, i get 90 percent plus on some of my mocks and 80 or 70s on others.
