Mathematics, check
Numerical,     check
Scientific reasoning, check
Scientific essay, check
Scientific report... what is that?

im pretty sure the scientific report is like prac report where you get questions that you have to answer in relation to a prac that has been completed
btw what the heck is a "biro"??

how hard is it to get a superior? I heard a person got 5 superiors in the test, what I thought was impossible. Is 90% enough? I hope I can get two of these... maybe on maths and some science stuff?
Upward and outward, no matter the cost.

Tell me all the standards, please! If I got 90% marks on math or something, is it usually enough for a superior?

getting a superior isnt based on ur actual score per se, but how well you did against everyone else. if most people got around say 50% then yeah a superior would probably be 90 but if everyone gets around say 70% a superior would be much higher. im pretty sure ur also compared against the people in ur current school too but not sure. i hope this makes sense lol

I heard those stuff, explain those please!
SUP(superior):top10%
HA(high average)
AA(above average)
A(average)
LA(low average)

do you mean how much percent you need? if so:
the top 23% gets above average
the top 40% gets high average
the top 60% gets average

or if this makes more sense:
 Superior (top 11%), Above Average (next 12%), High Average (next 17%), Average (next 20%), Low Average (next 17%) or Below Average (last 23%).

oh yeah im having pretty serious mood swings lol, especially on studying. Like for the past week ive been dead set studying it up but today ive been procrastinating a lot and havent studied that much  :-\

just a question for everyone, why do you guys want to get into JM? ( just curious lol )

id like to get into jmss cause the science i want to be involved in (astrophysics) is a very odd/rare one that my school doesnt really accomodate for (at my school youre usually pushed to do chem or bio) so getting into jmss would not only help my science ambitions but also help later in life (eg Monash Uni) i think i speak for most people here too
