  • JMSSaspirant MHS is a shit school ngl, bro its like a rat race, they have too many expectations and bro imagine being around boys all day, wouldn't u kinda then not wanna hang out with girls at all??

    • na i think vi guru will make you surely get into the school, just pray bro🙏

    • idk for kids in year 8, maybe yall should do ICAS tests, its a great practice and shit, if I were u kids and if your doing the test next year, you could possibly find practice icas tests and do them, assess yourself and see what y;ou got wrong and perfection all of those things to perfection your real test for JMSS

    • Harshil bro just look it won't really be like that like hard, just look what my parents said is that hopefully you'll get in but like to fair if u don't (worst case scenario), its not the end of the world, you can still get a higher ATAR than someone going to John Monash and you can still do the same course, same uni, so I guess give it your best shot and just let fate decide..........

    • they have a pretty wierd selecting system but I mean to be fair if u think you all superiors except SR, I reckon 75 % you will get in, just pray to god.... 🙏

      • and like lets say if u got three superiors and 2 above averages you'll get in 90% u will get in

      • bro i reckon u do, cuz like apparently u have to be sorta like consistent in all of the subjects like if u got three superiors and one at average, 85% u wont get in

      • ik its a lot of info but thats like all u need, guys don't stress too much, to be fair u just need above averages and kinda nothing else, so i maybe suggest getting a tutor and actually trying hard in class, im trying out for JMSS in 2025 for 2026 year 10, im kinda chill ngl

        • broooo, look all i know is that apparently the maths test was pretty hard and theres literally like on in which u have to answer 60 questions in 30 mins, science was kinda free like my mates said, heres some more highly useful info:

          The entrance exam at JMSS is considered more holistic than those of other selective schools, as it is only the first step in a multi-stage selection process. This approach ensures that students who are genuinely passionate about science and technology are given a chance to shine beyond their exam scores.

          Exam Components and Preparation Tips:

          Mathematics (Multiple Choice):
          Covers topics from Year 8-10: data analysis, trigonometry, parabolas, Pythagoras' theorem, algebraic arithmetic, linear equations, quadratics, and surds.
          Preparation: Regular practice of these topics using textbooks and online resources like Khan Academy, Mathletics, and IXL. Focus on problem-solving skills and time management.

          Numerical Reasoning (Multiple Choice):
          Tests your ability to identify numerical patterns and solve problems quickly.
          Preparation: Engage in daily math puzzles and logic games. Strengthen your knowledge of roots and square numbers.

          Science Reasoning (Multiple Choice):
          Involves reading scientific passages, analyzing data, and answering questions based on fundamental science concepts.
          Preparation: Improve your reading comprehension and analytical skills. Utilize resources like BBC Bitesize and CK-12 for diverse scientific topics.

          Science Analysis and Reporting (Writing):
          Requires you to interpret scientific data and write a report.
          Preparation: Practice writing clear and concise scientific reports. Focus on interpreting graphs, tables, and experimental results.

          Science Interest (Writing):
          An essay that explores your interest in science and your understanding of scientific issues.
          Preparation: Write essays on various science-related topics and current issues. Get feedback from teachers to improve your writing skills.
