lols Hey bro, JMSS student (5 sups) here. For numerical, try doing a bunch of math puzzles from the internet, as well as number patterns. It is hard work, but so is JMSS, and it will be worth it. Best of luck!

mizi CONGRATS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY HARD THING TO DO
boo For the test it was just maths for me and there was also a separate form they ask you to fill out to list your achievements and basically write down your answers to the questions they asked previously.
There was two sets of interviews last year one with a panel of 4 people and another with just 2 people. Be confident and honest.
Best of luck and msg if u need anything- Edited
Omg congrats, Last year when I did it they told me that there were 300 applicants and they called in 15 (your in the top 5% woohooo) to first round interviews (which was solo and included a maths test) and later had a second round (which consisted of family interviews but I think they only called 7 out of 15 to this round). They asked me standard interview questions, some of which were a bit strange like
- "why do you want to leave your school",
-"did you go to tutoring in preparation for the selective exam",
-"Did you make it into selective"
-"what school will you be going to next year if not here"
-"Have you ever been overseas, if so how many countries (try say something like "im very grateful that my parents really tried to give me the best experiences yadayada") - "Do you have siblings?"
- "What was a difficult time in your life and how did you overcome it?" (I really struggled with this one but remember this isnt a therapy session its an interview)
These are just the ones I remember but yea also remember that this is a FOUNDATION interview, its by a charity so they typically want to give it to kids who can't afford a private school education otherwise (like this ties in a lot with the how many countries question, be honest about it but be humble, this is where i messed up ). Don't be intimidated they were really nice and friendly and its ok to be nervous just fake it till you make it ig
MMHS what language
mizi CONGRATULATIONS

I did the Melb Foundation test last year for St Caths and made it to first round interviews. The process has you do an online test I remember and you have to be in the top 20 to get into first round. I think last year they had 300~ applicants and invited 20 to the first round. The first round consisted of a maths testing and two interviews (they ask "tell me about yourself", "how many countries have you been to?", "how do you plan to travel to school if you get in").The actual online test was for me not too difficult and it was on like a google form. It was not much difficult compared to the selective exam. They're offering a full scholarship and I remember that is was run by the older students who got the interview from the year before. It's a super good opportunity and unfortunately I can't tell you more about the second stage when they invite you and your parents for another interview bc I didn't make it that far.
Make sure you read through the whole school's website, look for all opportunities they offer that your current school doesn't but don't talk bad about your school. They'll ask what school you plan to go to next year if not to the Scholarship. Just compile a good list of academic and extracurricular achievements. And they ask of books you've read that outside of your year level.
Best of luck!
mizi lol congrats on the offer anyways
