anika21 There might be a few questions about rock formations and plate tectonics as well as contour lines. As for astronomy i think there will be bodies in space, solar systems , planets, and those topics.

    I can definitely see a question on those topics popping up but the actual knowledge you need to know is pretty minimal. It's mainly just testing your reasoning skills tbh. Have a read through your yr 9 and 10 science textbook to be familiarised with those topics though.

      Hi, I’m also trying for jmss 2026 entry, and was wondering if anyone knows the format of the prac report in past years, because at my tutoring place we’re only given a prompt and have to create the experiment and make up the results as well as writing up the other components, whereas I’ve read that they give the results and method?

      Hey lols, Have you tried this link: https://www.jaycetutoring.com/posts/jmss-y10
      This guy has done the exam before and is really helpful. He is helpful for the writing part. For the report its better if you follow the prompt. If the method and results are provided then all you have to do is write an introduction ( aim + hypothesis) and then the discussion and conclusion, if it tells you to design an experiment then you have to include everything.

      Also in the intro its good to add a background for the experiment, which explains what you are doing with scientific concepts.

      Hope this helps.

        Aayush do you by any chance know how similar the BigBrain practice tests are to the real test and their usefulness when practicing for the exam?

        Hey Miggy, The diagnostic tests cover some basic topics that are going to be on the test, but I'm not very sure about the accuracy of the questions.

        By the way, does anyone know whether they ask for or look at NAPLAN Results when looking at your application/CV

          my friends sister goes to jmss and shes saying they might look at it

          By the way sorry to all those who already joined the server we've relocated. Here's a new link https://discord.gg/jMwMTXSxuK I've also edited it into the original post

          Wait for the prac report, is the method in present or past tense? I’ve had teachers tell me both and I’m so confused πŸ™

          • Eddy replied to this.

            lols yeah I 100% understand where you're coming from. At my old school we were taught to write methods in past tense but I'd recommend you should write your method similar to that of instructions e.g. "Transfer the hydrochloric acid solution from the 450ml conical flask to the 200ml measuring cylinder". That's the expectation for VCE and what I'd recommend doing on the entrance exam. Hope that helps clear up any confusionπŸ‘οΈ
