Dosanjh (NHS) crazy blackburn is an hour from me and the main reason im doing sehs is because my school is the worst like the teachers
are so bias to boys like one time i got a after school detenion for sitting outside my class and if u want to here more just type the school up and check the reviews for donnybrook as its basically a school with good uniform shit teacher and teaching shit facilities

ghost writing tests, one should be a science report thing where you are given some data, maybe even a paragraph of data then u have to write it in the correct format for science reports (design an experiment basically)
the second writing should give you a topic and asks how you could prevent this from happening/ decreasing the chances of occurring (along the lines of that)

the science test should be fairly easy, watch jayce batallone's jmss guide and he should have a checklist of the given topics you should study, if you have discord, i could also send 2 images of a james an college jmss topic list and what they include
all of the science stuff should be covered in year 8,9 and maybe some year 10 topics

din ik but it is so hard to ignore him

wow... I am in yr 12 and still in school, but its okay if u don't believe it. I guess this is probably not the best place to ask... I guess I'll delete the post and have to wait and see what its like for myself.

year 9 entry I got 1 top 20% and 4aa(top 40%)

Year 10 entry I got 4 top10%(superior) and 1 top 20%.(above average)

Very confusing when talking about Edutest or ACER as ACER considers above average as top 40% while Edutest considers it top 20%.

sharthecar do you mind js going over in detail (if you want to) about what you had in the test? like what types of questions were in the science and numerical reasoning and math? how hard is it, because I'm scared I'm over-preparing for the test

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

.. What level is the exam? yr 8,9 or 10. Does it involve chemical formulas and stuff?

'

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

Hello Guys,

How do you think your performance on the JMSS exam was?

MAGA

My discord username is presidentofscams plz don’t judge

Ronaldo she will sit for the exam next year, she is in year 8 now.

Does anyone remember the exact questions that were on the year 10 entry test for mathematics? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP!

Thank you so much for your time and help!
For Maths I have a year 9 Oxford math book so I'll focus mostly on that. And for science I'll use AI. I'll also play sudoku and see if it helps!

Yes
Hi, I did the test this year and got in, however I'm not going. I never went to tutoring for the test and I personally don't think you need to. The test wasn't very hard, I think it's more important to practice answering questions quickly and accurately. Just knowing the content from Year 9 and maybe Year 10 for Maths and Science will cover it. The main place where people don't perform well is the Science and writing tests. I think going to tutoring or buying practice exams for these tests could be useful since you wouldn't have done these kinds of tests elsewhere.
Numerical Reasoning and Maths were pretty standard tests, if you did the selective entry exam, they were easier than those (at least in my year, I know the selective test changed this year). The numerical reasoning test is actually very similar to the practice version for select entry on the victorian government website (one of the questions from this year's test was literally on that practice test). I wouldn't stress too much about these, just go through a maths textbook and do some time practice test and you should be good.
Science Reasoning is a mixture of general science knowledge questions and data analysis questions. To practice the data analysis questions, I would suggest the ICAS Science tests as those are as close as you're going to get to the questions on the test. With the general knowledge, like with Maths, knowing your Year 9 content should cover it. I honestly am bad with Science general knowledge since my old school didn't teach it very well but I still ended up with an above average (I think my data analysis carried though).
There are 2 writing components, a science report and a science essay (forgot their actual names). Going to tutoring for these tests would be beneficial although you don't need it. For the science report, we had the information and method for a random experiment and we had to write a hypothesis, discussion and conclusion I think. Really knowing the in depth rules and components of a report is crucial for this. My school covered this heavily earlier this year and I ended up getting a superior for this test. Your discussion should be about 2 paragraphs (include improvements, accuracy, reliability, repeatability, etc.) and is probably the part that most people mess up on. I can go more in depth on this if you would like.
For the Science Essay, you get this page of information on a random topic (I got black soldier flies and its impact on greenhouse emissions, it was an absolutely awful prompt). It's just your regular essay format (2 - 3 body paragraphs), and you basically use the information given and some of your own if you can to take a stance and sort list the effects and such.
As far as tips, bring an analog watch (not digital) since I don't think there were any clocks and they only gave time stamps like once maybe. Set the minute hand to start at the very top so its easier to read since all the test were half an hour. I don't really have any other tips, as long as you study the content, practice and are pretty quick to answer questions, you'll be fine. Around half the students will get interviews so just practice regularly.
I know that was a lot, but feel free to ask anymore questions.

Hi,

I am planning on taking the JMSS (John Monash Science School) entrance exam in 2024 to gain entry into year 10 for 2025. I might take tuition classes but I'm debating about whether I should go to JAC or Brain Works, or maybe to not go tuition at all, any suggestions? Should I instead buy some practice exam's from the internet or go to tuition. Does anyone have any tips or anything on how to get in? I REALLY WANT TO GET IN SO ANYTHING HELPS. Are there specific things to study and anything special I need to do to increase my chances. Should I go tuition or should I just instead study myself???
