No not really. Tbh again in my experience, CV didnt matter that much in my opinion as my interview didnt show much interest. But just saying don't follow my steps, make sure your CV is appealing.ash73
I didnt have much prep, but main advice i can tell you is fully study yr 9 curriculum of math and scienceChat if we get into jmss we should be friends #manifestjmss
- In VCE OR IB
ash73 Its not really about how many superiors you get, you just have to be a part of the top 600 students sitting the exam, so if a lot of people do really good than you might need 3-4 superiors, but if a lot of people dont do that well, you might be able to get in with just 1 or even none superiors. Hope this helps.
heyy, i'm also doing the test for year 10 entry next year. i'll just copy n paste the replies i recieved from my post!
im in the same position as you tbh. my school is so bad at teaching topics and in science and maths all they do is read of presentations and yap. I do recommend trying to find resources online and try to revise the year 8 and year 9 science curriculum(assuming you must be good at maths and above average). That's what i'm doing at the moment especially for science since i don't know to much. Also for the writing part i'd suggest just try to write under time pressure and find any science reports or analysis's and discussions to look over to really help you gain better understanding with your writing.
honestly my science teachers haven’t beeen great either the last two years and I wld say use online resources, ur textbook and even YouTube vids to self learn, which is the only way I’m passing lol
hi!!! i didn't do JMSS myself but my close friend got in. she was also lacking in english and science, and what she used to do was borrow senior textbooks (usually bio, physics and chem) from the library and practice from them! all selective exams are always 1-2 years above the year level curricula, so working from senior textbooks always ensures that you have a strong grasp of the topics that will probably be on the test.
you can also make flashcards etc of these topics and practice daily in the morning, sort of like a routine.
for writing, that's something that comes with practice unfortunately. you just have to keep on writing. i also advice reading widely and frequently. your local library is an amazing resource with plenty of books.
that's the tips i've gotten so far, hope this helps!

lols Tbh not really. I didn't. The science test is very different to school tests tho. It really does test your diligence and aptitude, not knowledge. Still you probably want to know some chem, but it is reallllly basic like ionic, covalent and metallic bonding. TO be better at analysis, read science journals and see what they do

also ik a few people who didn’t have a tutor and got through, but maybe if u find it hard to self study get a tutor, and some tutoring centers have mock tests which can be good for time management
