Title: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: (Noname):):):) on June 09, 2019, 09:34:49 am
Hey there! I know this is WAYYY to early, but if you would like, here is the JMSS entry for 2021!!


Feel free to AMA me (including resources) through PM. I tried out for JM, but didn't get accepted. I could still help out tho!

Here is the test format, in case u were wondering:
- Maths 60 questions in 30 mins (Includes quadratics, linear equations, some trig, inequalities, measurement and geometry,)
- Numerical Reasoning 50 questions in 30 mins (Try to do a bunch of worded problems timed that's all i could think of  ;D)
- Science Reasoning 40 questions in 30 mins (Try to do some ICAS Papers; have some if you would like any)
- Science written expression 5 mins planning and 25 mins to write the expression (tests prior scientific knowledge, good to go through your science textbook 8-10 for this one)
- Science report (as the name suggests, u'll hav to design an experiment, based on info they give u)

That is it for now. PM when you hav time and ill try my best to answer u asap :)

Ah yes, sorry about that  :)

Here is a website that has science and maths textbooks (jacaranda) from years 7 - 10.

Hi I’m new to Atar notes and I’m trying out for jmss next year(lol I screwed up the shs test two weeks ago); and I’m just wondering about jmss. So hopefully somebody can answer these :)

1. Can you still do well in vce humanity subjects if u go to jmss?
 -I’m really passionate about science and math but I still wish to do one or two commence subject in vce (since I want to do that in uni); so if I get into jmss, is there still a chance for me to get a 42+ in subject like economics? (I mean I’m totally fine without doing that though)

2. Can tuition help you with the entrance test?
 -Lol I didn’t go to tuition for shs test and I screwed up on the actually exam-I studied hard for 3 months especially I studied 6 hours a day for the last month. But anyways, did the tuition help if you have the basic knowledge and needs a lot of practice questions? Btw, which tuition did u guys suggests the most for the jmss test(e.g. James an, Hendersons, QS...)

 Sorry for my terrible grammar and the things I say probably wouldn’t make a lot of sense:(

But thanks for reading :) and please don’t sink this forum

I just did the exam last week so I dont really know about your first question.

For your second question I did do private tuition and I felt it really helped me.
Just before the exam I recommend you do a hendersons mock exam because they give a good idea of what the exam is like for the Jmss exam. Dont do it for the shs exam because it is complete shite when it comes to selective school.

for your 1st question idrk BUT for the second one,
I went to JAC this year to prepare for the jmss exam for year 10 2020, uhhhhh, I think in JAC, science rly helps you excel in your knowledge, ( we did a different topics every week, some on it was in the actl test ), For maths, JAC maths r lowkey too complicated for a year 9 standard in my opinion, BUT do not worry, THE TEST IS WAYYYYYY WAYYYYY WAYYYY easier than JAC tests ( if u get 80%+ in JAC youll flyyyy through the test ). Overall, I do recommend going to tutoring (since it rly helped me) but either way, you can get in without it.

Thanks for your reply and it’s good to know that Hendersons’ mock exam are helpful for jmss (Yea completely agree with what u said coz they made the shs math ones too simple); and btw, are the math questions in jmss test easier than the ones in selectives?

Thanks for the reply. I actually find that people around me who went to James Ann did really hard work and ended up finding the test easy aha(while everyone else find the test super hard lolll). Anyways hope they also teach u how to do it as well tho :)

Wayyyyyyy easier. I was able to finish both math papers with a significant amount of time left.
Also if you do the year 10 entry for shs it is also easy but it is slightly harder compared to the jmss.

Good luck!

Yeah, it's somewhere in August which is good and bad at the same time. I kinda wanted to get it over and done with but on the other hand, we have 2 more months to study for it. I think the best practice tests to complete for science reasoning would be ICAS papers which a lot of people have said are really similar to the actual test. You can do a few of the sample questions or buy past papers at https://www.unswglobal.unsw.edu.au/hub/educational-assessments/reach-and-icas-assessments-science-sample-questions/. I would recommend the G papers which are at year 9 level although it goes up to year 10 science as well.  :) :)

I would suggest the post/thread: PRACTICE MATERIAL FOR JMSS or A YEAR 9'S GUIDE TO THE JOHN MONASH SCIENCE SCHOOL TEST. However, in the second post, the guide was deleted because people were viewing it too much but you can still see other people’s comments/posts which are still quite useful.

You're either already at JMSS or didn't get in but just in case others want to know - JMSS requires you to do a hums subject in Year 11, you can accelerate into 3/4 straight away or do 1/2 and drop it in Year 12 or continue. I know some friends who want to do economics, commerce etc and they're at JMSS. In Year 10 you have to do Issues Studies which is pretty much hums but mainly geo in my opinion. It's a really nice subject, I love it (minus the group work) and you learn a lot of transferrable skills, I got high marks, so yes you can still do well in hums.

I didn't go to tutoring, but I did get some interview help from my NHS friend and an ex-jmss teacher who works at my old school, still got in. TBF getting in without tutoring lead to more pride because i know that i am smart enough myself

Hi there,
I did the year 11 exam this year which was fairly easy. I got an interview yay! The interview will be online.

I believe you would most likely be doing the year 10 exam online due to the current health crisis.

This isn’t very helpful but I hope it helped a little bit. :)

thank you maths4life
just a question to anyone who did the jmss exam online this year, how was it run
did they put someone to monitor what you were doing, and see if you were cheating or not because im sure everyone would have took advantage of the fact that it was online. also did u have to do an essay, because for the suzanne corey exam u wont have to. pls let me know as my exam is in 10 days!!!!!

So the exam was through edutest. There were 4 exams: science, science reasoning, maths and maths reasoning but you didn’t have to do an essay.

There wasn’t a monitor or anything like that they just expect you not to cheat ( which you shouldn’t) but you do have to sign a letter of authentication to say you didn’t cheat or have help etc.

You should get an email around 3-4 days before you exam giving you all the details and log in info.

Hope that helped  :)

It’s on a website called edutest (what you signed up for the exam using) and it automatically times you and logs you out after the times it up.  :)

a question to anyone who did the year 11 exam this year

1. were the questions more calculation based, which would be very time consuming like eg: 400 x 33 divided by 47, which these type of questions requires very quick calculation and where not everyone would finish but the questions are very straight forward and every one would understand?

2. were the questions more knowledge based like find the line of symmetry for the graph, or find the equation of this parabola. these type of questions can be done quickly, but not everyone can do it because they dont know, or understand, or know the concept.

3. if they were a mix, could u please tell me which type of questions were the majority.

thank you, to anyone who answers my question, you are a good human being

Hellooooo. I am seriously freaking out cuz i heard that the yr 11 entance exam did not require exam takers to write informative or procedural essays this year as the exams were done online, and these are my best areas!! Could anyone who did the year 11 exam please once again confirm if this was the case and also whether this would be most likely the same for the year 9's doing the exam for year 10 entrance. And i also heard in place of the essays there was another science paper in addition to science reasoning.

yes im pretty sure that there was no essay based on the previous posts on this forum.
however i did not know that there was another test in place of the essay. if there actually was another test could someone tell me the names of each test on the exam
thanks

Hello people who are trying for JMSS,
I am a current student at JMSS and thought I could give the small advice for you guys not to stress about the exam as it is would be the least important part of the selection process (the interview is the hardest). Due to COVID-19 restriction, the integrity of this test is valued very lowly compared to the interview process which is because writing exams online is much more difficult compared to what would happen on pen and paper. So a piece of advice on writing the exam this year is to practice doing the test online if possible on softwares like IXL and online multiple-choice questions. Writing tasks might also pop-up in the form of timed practice tests as this is what has previously happened at our school during English sacs. So basically be prepared for your usual 6-tests strategy and don't worry that you have a disadvantage compared to others because even they also do  :P.

All the best for your exams!! 8) 8)

(oh and also be prepared to take the test in weird formats, I'm not sure what they might do but I've had a test on WEBEX and CANVAS and it was horribly planned. hopefully it becomes better for the official exam!!)

Feel free to private message me on this and I might get back to you based on how often I look on this!!

Hi!!
I’m a year 9 and I’m doing my test for JMSS this week week :'( I was wondering what type of questions were on the math tests and how hard they were. Did it mostly cover the year 9 or 10 textbook? If you could remember what type of questions show up could you please tell me? Everyone is saying the test is easy and much easier than the selective school one but honestly I’m nervous coz maths isn’t my strongest subject. I got a high average on both maths test for the electives last year(still confused how).

If a lot of people cheat and get higher scores, does that mean you need a higher score overall to pass the exam? Also what scores do you have to get to pass the exam?
Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: twinklehello on July 29, 2020, 08:28:00 am
i think you need one or two superiors? not sure tho
Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry

No idea probably two, but a lot of people are going to cheat.
Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: Tommy_01 on July 29, 2020, 08:49:06 am
No you can pass with one (maybe even with zero). I got two superiors and a high average, however I also got below averages and I managed to get an interview.

Half the people who do the test pass and get an interview so it isn't incredibly competitive. You just need to overall do well.
Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: Tommy_01 on July 29, 2020, 08:52:27 am
The maths questions were pretty similar to the year 8 selective school test. As long as you have general understanding on year 9 and 10 maths, you should be fine.

So, i took the Year 10 exam for entry into year 11 (yr 11 entry) for EBS (another science school) and they tested Year 10 stuff for Maths, (the highest level maths being basic logarithms like 5^3=125... express that in terms of log.) I took the exam of 25th of July (4 days ago)

Here's a link to a blog which lists all the stuff y'all need to know prior to the exam...
https://www.jaycetutoring.com/blogs/selective-school-tutoring-victoria/jmssec
 
having taken the year 11 entry exam, I can say FOR SURE that list contains everything you need to know from A-Z... DON'T skimp out on anything that's included in the list... every last thing is VERY important. (there were two questions in my exam on Probability: Tree Diagrams.. the list included that but I never touched on it so... *insert statement of morose/regret here

There won't be anything from Year 11 like factorial notation/binomial theorem/factorization on (x+y)^3 pattern stuff coz there wasn't any of that stuff for me and I took the exam for year 11 entry :)

Hope this helps.

Hi, yeah thats great but we are doing entry to year 10 for JMSS, would it be easier, would it still nclude logarithms or binomial theorem?

thats true
the practice tests that i have, literally have no questions of that sort, only really hard calculation questions, in which they intend to slow you down.
anyone who did the year ten entry exam last year remember which questions were of the majority

No, it most likely won't include logarithms and definitely won't include Binomial Theorem.

No, it most likely won't include logarithms and definitely won't include Binomial Theorem.

Having said that, it doesn't hurt to look at the contents of basic logarithms and get the concepts just in case.
It's basically just placing the numbers in a different arrangement.

I kno y'all are anxious for the exam... I'll try to answer all questions to the best of my ability.

I sat the year 11 exam admissions test and got an interview scheduled for the 6th of August. I'm really confused by what the written part is. Like whats the structure of the interview and whats all this talk of an essay?? If someone could help me out either now or when they sit the interview what happens and what the structure is.

Also if anyone has any tips of what sorts of certficates and anything else I should send for the interview as well as how should I prepare for it??

Any help is really appriciated, I feel like there was so little information sent out about it and there is so much contradiction as to whats happening if someone could clear it all up it would help so much thanks

I didn't know they do. Maybe we do I just have no idea how anyone knows about it this year because its so different to what it normally is because of COVID.

Like normally the prac report and the essay is part of the initial  exam on non-covid years. So there might be one I just don't know and I wante dto know like how people know and what is happening

Numerical-okay/choked
Procedural-I think i did pretty good
Maths-pretty good

i wonder when we'll find out how we did, have they sent anything about when to expect results?
Im trying out for mhs (year 10 entry) next week too, anyone else?

Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: aaron6785 on August 01, 2020, 04:58:44 pm
Hi people.
Science reasoning (for me 5.5, thats just me cuz i was lazy and not confident and i was least prepared for this one)
Maths (for me, 2)
Informative essay (4, i really wish i finished and did a practise one this morning before the exam)
Numerical (5, it was alright i just didnt do a lot of the long questions)
Procedural (2, -35 minutes is a lot of time)

The science reasoning questions were mostly graph questions that could be figured out by interpretation but you would have to be pretty quick so general knowledge REALLY would have helped and been worth studying for those extra marks.

Neither the informative essay nor the procedural writing were covid related.
Hope this helps.

The math was easy. Even if there were hard calculations u can round them off/estimate or just do them cuz they may look like they take long but through like simplifying/cancelling  they dont really take long. if ur well rounded in most year 9/year 10 topics u should be fine.

What topics were for maths: was there, finding gradient, were most of the questions calculations or worded?

Hello everyone,
I took this exam last year, (I was in year 9 last year),
I totally flopped both of the writing ones (I remember this clear as day), because I wasn't able to finish either.
The other ones were "OK".

YET... I got myself an interview. (didn't get past that tho)

So... The real tough part is the interview.
You really need to "prove/show ur mettle" over there.
From teamwork skills to individual achievements.

I did my exam yesterday and I think I did really bad on the multiple choice tests but at the same time I found the written ones really easy (I finished them really early and knew a lot about the topics). Does anyone know how long it usually takes after the testing for interview invites to be sent out? I heard they are happening online this year.

Hi, i did the exam yesterday too, i found the procedural pretty easy but i didnt finish the informative which i could have with a bit more practise, i found maths pretty good but numerical and science were alright. Im not sure how long it will take for the interview invites to be sent out. Thanks for replying, kinda helps.

anyone else going to share?@haithere @010000studyhard @twinklehello  :)

science: 6. Kinda messed up with the dna questions. it was nothing like i expected. majority of it was problem solving. Some were even maths!

numerical: 9. it was too easy, but could have done the tire and soccer card questions, kinda messed up at the end

Maths: 10. i got everything right im sure of it

prac report: 8. finished in the nick of time, but explained everything in detail. it was a pretty decent topic as well. they gave too much information which helped a lot

Science comms: 8. i literally put the last full stop of the last sentence, a millisecond after. no joke. but that was a pretty hard topic. i struggled to type at the start, but they gave us some info, and what to write about. luckily i practiced some essays on plastic and stuff, but nothing about the enzyme tho

overall i think i am going to get an interview, but it depends on how everyone else went.

a question: im the only one from my school doing it so is that good for me

jeez now i feel like i did bad. I dont think u being the only one advantages u cuz its not the selective exam where they take top 5 percent of the year level. they only say they can't take more than 3 percent of a year level. but u sound like u did well so congrats.

i think the tests were actually much easier that i thought they would be.
maths - 10. i finished all the questions with still some time left.
numerical - 8 had to guess about 5 but the ones i did were not too hard
science reasoning - they were some rlly long q's but i managed to finish all of them
essay - 7 omg i didn't even know what PETase was. i just managed to write something based off the info they provided, but i knew a bit about plastic pollution in general so i focused on that.
prac - 9 easy topic, everything went well. i just felt like my prac was kinda basic but whatever

hey guys!
everyone asking when u get results I called them and they said 3-8weeks so fingers crossed!

for me it was :

Science reasoning 7.5- i was freaking out at the start but it was okay I finished all of them but i think i did alright
Numerical 8- mostly patterns and were pretty easy to figure out i think i mucked up the last few but it went well
essay 8.5- i finished it and wrote a lot for the essay but i did find a bit of trouble on the topic
maths- 9.5 personally found it easy and completed many questions confidently
prac- 10- personally i practised a lot with the formats and answered all the questions and added my own stuff with detail so i think i did well

Good luck to everyone!

Hey, guys, this is how I found the test

Maths: really good 9 it was easier than the selective one by far and I finished with 3 minutes left.
Nr: I did well in this as well 9 and I guessed 3 questions one of the questions was the rebate one I had to guess this.
Science reasoning: I think I did good 8 I finished all the questions and the DNA ones were good as I studied the base pairings the night before.
Prac: I covered everything and finished everything on time. 8 but forgot a title which was disappointing. 
Science comm: I think I stuffed up as my arguments were like global warming, diseases, and animals dying. Did anyone have this as their arguments? I think a 7

nah i used the stuff that they gave. which i think was, what is this enzyme and how does it work, what we can do to stop plastic pollution how this enzyme could be a help. i just elaborated on the stuff they gave

u did good congrats.

i think the test knocks out a quarter of the people trying but the interview is the real killer.  im sure if anyone thinks they did good they prob did and will most likely get an interview.

hey asking anyone who knows the answer to this
on the jmss website it says that they will take 3% of any schools year level (im in year 9 so they will take 3% from the year 9 cohort)
im the only one doing it from my year level, so is that a good thing for me. does it give me a guaranteed pass?
good luck to anyone doing the exam tomorrow

Hi,
Nope, no one gets a guaranteed pass. You could say you have a higher chance due to less competition, but you also need to get good scores yourself

ACCEPTANCE is the most important part while waiting or else we will stress ourselves out. Take a bath or do something you love and you couldn't do it because you were studying. For me, baking and self care. Talk to your parents about this. Just remember to like vibe and what done is done

How do I distract myself I can't think of anyone but the exam
trust me. if u thought that u did bad, then u probs wont think about. it shows that u have worked hard for the exam. someone who didnt put effort does not care, so its nothing to worry about. i fantasize about getting into jmss most days, and what ill do if i get the acceptance letter. tbh what u think about does not matter anyway, since it wont make an impact on the results. what will happen will happen  ;D ;D ;D

i agree with you,  almost every i think how would tell my friends I'm moving schools and imagine how proud i would be for getting an interview. But just remember it is okay to be nervous and stress but you have to le yourself relax also.

yeah taking a break is probably the best way to not feel nervous. u have done ur exam and nothing u learn now will change the outcome. i studied really hard for jmss, so now im taking a break by watching youtube or anime.
just learn that u have to accept anything that comes ur way ;D 8)

Hot tip from someone who has done the jmss test, relaxing is great and all (i will certainly be relaxing after i do the year 11 nhs entrance on Saturday and watch the dark knight :D). However remember to constantly get updates with science news and info, read about spacex. They just accomplished a 150m hop for their new rocket yesterday. Because the interview is very competitive.

anyone who has done the jmss exam in previous years or did it his year, now what results they got. what kind of results did u get to get an interview at jmss. there are some tests im pretty sure ill get a good mark for. i understand that its a competition, so it varies, but an answer would be much appreciated. also do what results u get effect the interview. im sure that if u got good results then it would put a good look on the interviewer.

I didn't have much but I got a couple medals from basketball, a couple awards from school, a community service award, high distinctions/distinctions in a couple ICAS, some math olympiad stuff. My reports kinda weird you gotta be 18 months ahead for an A. so i got As on all my core subjects, and some Bs in my elective. I didn't have any state level stuff in sport tho, coz i got chronic knee pain, so that's gonna screw me over.  :(. Anyways good luck on the exam.

i didnt get the greatest of results last year and I still managed to get an interview. I got 2 superiors (maths and numerical), 1 high average (science reasoning) and a low average and below average in the two science writings.

Your results are not brought up in the interview, in fact you don't even find out your results until a couple of months after.

Your school report on the other hand is discussed throughout the interview, so really make sure that you have something to show off.

For my application, I had community service photos, seal exception awards, academic reports, and awards from school. I included my 2020 report as well as my 2019 report as my 2020 report was much better than my 2019 reports as I mostly got As and A+. Also, evidence shows I played the trumpet, tennis awards, swimming awards, athletic and swimming carnival awards and sudoku awards and interschool sports awards. Good luck to everyone writing the test.

I don't think you need that much, maybe try find some school awards or start volunteering for science research projects on the internet, there should be plenty. It isn't really advanced or 'revolutionary' science, but it helps and they're mainly looking for people who have an interest in science.

i guess just elaborate on ur interest in science if they ask u, like for me i would be like im really into supercars and their engineering, aerodynamics, torque and engine specs got me into physics quiet a lot. also if there is a group task like in their regular interviews then show how u can contribute i guess.

im into stuff like about the space, and space explorations. i can answer most questions on there if they ask. i followed the space launch and them returning to earth. i know stuff like about newtons 3 laws, and Einsteins theories. i watch a lot of documentaries, so i would recommend everyone else doing that as well.  ;D ;D

It's for when you've been disadvantaged in some way, but I don't think you can apply for it anymore, it was due in 3 days after the exam. You have to get all these statements and signatures from your principal and a doctor, so it took quite a while.

They are gonna happen online probably (that’s what they did for the year 11s) and I’m guessing that won’t change. They will either make it a joined call with groups kinda like it would usually be and discuss a topic/do activities or it will just be one-on-one interviews where you just have to show off achievements/reports and talk about your passion for science/math/technologies.
I’m not actually sure but this is the most likely thing to happen.
Hope this helped.

Hi,
I want to go to JMSS as it is a science school and I really like physics and chemistry. JMSS also gives you bonus VCE points and you can go to Monash Uni after VCE completion. JMSS also has better teachers that have better work ethics than MHS and I have heard that most teachers from selective schools come to JMSS to teach here. Also, because JMSS is closer than MHS I would also go there.

Science has always been of my favourite subjects in school, and an interest out of school. Science, being such a broad topic means that there is just so much to learn, and I think it's cool how any phenomena can be explained (even if it takes forever) through science. Questions like, why things drop? or why water doesn't fall of the Earth can all be explained through the concept of Gravity. It's the little concepts that can explain such complex ideas that makes science cool, at least in my opinion. This is also why I enjoy math it's about transforming complex patterns, into easy to-understand expressions. A relationship between the circumference and diameter of a circle, is described as pi. I've greatly enjoyed math and science in school, and this has largely stemmed from my general curiosity, no matter what the subject would be. I think it's great that JMSS, while being a 'science school' still offers so much more, science is a real important part of world, but there is also still so much other stuff in the world. Science and math are largely calculating, but people say I'm a more of a creative person. It's probably why I love drawing, photography, filmmaking, and literature so much. I think JMSS's community being revolved around learning, as well as having better facilities would greatly motivate me. I still have no idea of what I want to do in the future, but being placed into a position where I'm able to learn about new arising science subjects, without neglecting my interests for other subjects, will help me discover pathways I was never even aware of. Even if I don't get in to JMSS I'll still have an undying passion for science, it's just unfortunate that I'm going to miss out on such a life-changing experience.

JMSS takes so long. MHS is so organised.
it's prob just coz the yr 10 entry for mhs had only like 200 people try out nd jmss had like around 800. also there was no essay for mhs so it would have just been the computer marking and ranking students whereas jmss has two essays per person so it would take longer to mark

Well, there is a possibility that the interviews may not even be next week. The year elevens got 2 weeks to prepare for their interviews and I think this date is not the actual one. I think they have not finished marking the essays yet and even if we do get an email it will probably be for an interview in two weeks' time allowing us to prepare.

Also, my friend called jmss today and they have told my friend that the interview was supposed to be this week but because of edutest not answering their messages and calls they had to change the interview date. So its edutests fault. Not Jmss.

I’m pretty sure AT LEAST a few of us on this forum will get through to the interviews, you all sound like you did pretty well on the tests. I don’t think there’s any reason to worry until it gets to a week before the interviews are supposed to happen because they have sent out the invites pretty late some years. Fingers crossed 🤞.

No MOST (if not all) of you will get into the interview. Trust me I did it last year, it isn't too difficult to get into the interview stage. The fact that you guys are this determined constantly checking for updates means that you will probably get in (to the interview stage at least).

However passing the interview is hard and I think at least half of you will get into the school (I'm just being honest)

I don't go to JMSS but from what the teachers told me at the interview last year,  JMSS heavily restricts students from doing accelerated 1/2 subjects in year 10. This is because their year 10 curriculum is already pretty challenging.

However you can accelerate and do methods 1/2 next year. JMSS will hold a methods exams later this year for the students that get in if they want to accelerate.

They are scheduled to run for an hour per session. Anyone know what to expect for the 1 on 1 interview - will they ask us about our resume and answers to those questions?
Also they usually do group interviews first so we can get more comfortable with being at an interview.

Around 900 people tried out and I think they sent out 400ish interviews. So congrats to everyone else who got one.
For the achievement I’m most proud of, should I write something more sciencey or something that would show I’m not only invested in science because I have a lot of achievements that I’m equally proud of?
Anyone else have an interview at 8:50 Friday? I just want to get an idea of how big the groups would be for the group part.
Sorry, I ask a lot of questions.

Which part?
Bcoz I called the school to ask them how many people applied and took the exam and they told me it was approx. 900 people and every year they do anywhere between 350 and 450 interviews depending on how people score.
I asked before any results came out so I didn’t get exact numbers, just estimates.

Post by: Hellothisisme on September 01, 2020, 09:54:29 pm
There’s definitely a group interview this year - it will probs just be a little different to previous years. The time slot for the interviews is an hour and they wouldn’t have time to get through everybody in time if it was just individual interviews for that long.
For individual interviews, they will likely be shorter than usual as a few of the questions they would have asked we have to write about instead - my brother got an interview a few years back and said the questions I had to write about were ones he just had to answer on the spot.

It’s probably best if we do... my role model is a scientist anyways and if you pick a person in a specific field it can also show what you’re interested in. It’s really just who you look up to though.

Also what kind of questions there might be. Also I feel like if I choose a scientist role model it might be a bit... dull, like a lot of people are going to say scientists, so I kinda want to stand out, yknow? so it’ll be memorable for the interviewer. I also saw someone said the questions we were asked to answer were the ones they normally ask in person at the interview, if that’s the case then does that mean the interview is going to be completely unknown? like a complete mystery?

It's quite depressing actually, but the truth is every man for themselves, because if I tell you it's going to reduce my  and other people's chances of making it in. However, I can say you are not far off.

Congrats ! Considering that you got in, you must've done well on the interview, any tips?

Hahah thank you. honestly I thought I did horrendous but here are some tips I wish I had before my interview:

-   Try to prepare yourself for general questions that they may ask you, for example ‘why do you want to go to jmss’ although don’t write a paragraph and memorize these answers just write dot points so you don’t get stuck when they ask you. Memorizing premade answers makes you look automated and not genuine. They are looking for students who genuinely have a passion for science and also have other interests beyond school not just people who are really smart.
-   They also ask some pretty random questions so be careful of your answers to those. You don’t need to know everything about the topic of the question to answer it, just get what you know and run with it.
-   Always talk good about your current school and make sure you have a list of reasons why you like your current school. < I sorta messed up this question cos I got caught off guard and couldn’t think of anything other than having supportive friends hahah. (talk about opportunities you have at your school and your teachers)
-   If you notice that you are getting really nervous and start mumbling, catch yourself and think about what you say before you say it. If you don’t think about what you want to say before you answer the question your going to mumble and not make sense to the interviewer/s .
-   Also the teachers that interview you are really nice, try to make the conversation seem less like an interview/interrogation and more like a casual conversation (you don’t need to sound like a dictionary just talk like you normally would to a teacher at you school)
-   Ask questions at the end of the interview (I would recommend 3-5), write a list of questions you have and go over the school website to find things you can ask them about. Referring to their website shows that you really care and did your research.
-   I recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUQ6RpAgci0 (even though it not specifically for jmss i think it helps)
-   SMILEEEE 😊 your good vibes will radiate onto the teachers hahah

Umm I think that’s it, if you have any other questions just ask, but Good Luck to all of you, you can do it!!

um idk if this is a glitch but if i try to join the "panel link", it says "We couldn't find the Personal Room robertson.diedre.e. Try again." However, for my friend, it says "Thanks for waiting. We'll start the meeting when the host joins. Do you want to let the host know your waiting?" so is my link broken or something?

Hahah thank you. honestly I thought I did horrendous but here are some tips I wish I had before my interview:

-   Try to prepare yourself for general questions that they may ask you, for example ‘why do you want to go to jmss’ although don’t write a paragraph and memorize these answers just write dot points so you don’t get stuck when they ask you. Memorizing premade answers makes you look automated and not genuine. They are looking for students who genuinely have a passion for science and also have other interests beyond school not just people who are really smart.
-   They also ask some pretty random questions so be careful of your answers to those. You don’t need to know everything about the topic of the question to answer it, just get what you know and run with it.
-   Always talk good about your current school and make sure you have a list of reasons why you like your current school. < I sorta messed up this question cos I got caught off guard and couldn’t think of anything other than having supportive friends hahah. (talk about opportunities you have at your school and your teachers)
-   If you notice that you are getting really nervous and start mumbling, catch yourself and think about what you say before you say it. If you don’t think about what you want to say before you answer the question your going to mumble and not make sense to the interviewer/s .
-   Also the teachers that interview you are really nice, try to make the conversation seem less like an interview/interrogation and more like a casual conversation (you don’t need to sound like a dictionary just talk like you normally would to a teacher at you school)

Ok about the interviews (I just finished mine), there is nothing to stress about and you can’t really prepare for the questions they give you but if you are really passionate about science it shouldn’t be a problem. There are some general questions and some random ones - I’m not going to tell you exactly what but along the lines of ‘If you had 1 million dollars what would you do?’. Those type of things. There are two people interviewing you - one takes notes and the other asks questions - altogether there are around 6 questions.
There isn’t a group part and it only runs for 10 minutes (or shorter depending on how you answer the questions) I talked a lot.
Good luck!   :)

There was nothing too hard - the answers were easy to think of. They are just trying to get to know you as a person - you’ve already proven you’re smart. They briefly mentioned the CV but not much - be able to elaborate a bit on it.

Only briefly. What I meant by not being able to prepare for it is that they are random questions that should test whether or not you have a true passion for science. I know I’m being cryptic but it’ll be clear once you’re in the interview.

Yea along those lines, but I wouldn't practice answering that specifically, as I'm sure everyone get's different questions. My interviewer was looking at a screen and scrolling through every time I finished answering a question, so I'd assume she just had a massive list of questions.

I don't actually remember her name, but I think she worked on the VCE team. I tried my best to come up with answers on the spot, and I went in depth as possible for every answer. But I had so many good answers that I didn't even talk about so ;(. I have no clue how other people went though

I think I did pretty well - I was a bit all over the place for some of the questions but I answered most of them with a lot of detail. I didn’t even get a chance to mention what my favourite things about science were and I completely froze up when they asked me if I had any questions. I had so many questions that I would actually like answers to but I panicked and said no.
I don’t think it was good enough to get through though.

Hi I am also a girl. But over the years they try to make the year level 50% to 50% for both genders. So that would make it slightly easier for us girls as there are more male applicants.

hey im a girl as well and I had my interview today :)
not to sound full of myself or cocky but the lady asking the qs kept saying that I did really good and should be very happy with myself
 
One tip id give is that dont stress or panic , they are so friendly
Try to befriend the ladies who interview you , first impressions go a long way
try your best to answer the questions even if you are not sure , you may not get all of your info right but if you sound confident and excited in what you are saying , it gives them the idea that you are passionate
good luck to anyone who does the interview in the next two days , wishing you all the best :))

I don’t really want to go into detail about what I was asked etc. until after all the interviews are over - just so it’s a level playing field, but I think overall I did pretty well. It felt less like an interview and more like a normal conversation, by far the most chill interview I’ve ever done. There were a few things I wish I’d said/gone into more detail about but I guess it’ll be fine anyway. Nobody’s perfect.

2 sports should be enough or like one state level cos very few people do state level. i mean it's all about the interview at this point. test results and CV don't matter, they were only relevant before the interview stage, cos they don't look at it after that as they make their verdict straight after the interview, (i joined mine a little early and they just finished with someone else and they were like could u please go outside the room cos we need to talk in order to finish the interview process, and they were talking about the previous person, i overheard stuff like 'ohh...wasn't very talkative/social...'   idk, just what i think.

At the start of my interview, the two interviewers introduced themselves and told me what they teach etc. and then asked me about myself before actually starting the questions. The man even showed me his puppy - so adorable. It’s sad that people aren’t being nice to the interviewers because they are giving up their own time to give us a chance to go to JMSS. I don’t get why some people would be rude.
I was told the results would come out in two weeks.

Sameee, my interviewer went straight to the point too. Mb we had the same lady?!? Lol I tried to be rlly nice but idk she didn’t really show that much emotion 😂 I mean I don’t blame her tho I’m not an interesting person and she was probably sick of doing so many interviews.

ur not cringy dw , also does anyone know of gcs abt jmss ? Like have yall made any and if so , can u add me
also im assuming 350 made it because thats normally the range they have (between 300-400 people ) make it to the interviews , but usually a lot of ppl cancel to go mhs or whatever else they apply for or they just lost interest :)

I have a pretty irrelevant question now, but how hard did everyone study for the exam? Did anyone do tutoring and if you did was it any help? I’m asking because I have a lot of friends who went to tutoring and studied for hours and still didn’t get past the test. Just want to know if it makes a difference.

i went to hendersons, helped with writing, numerical and confidence ig. but the test was wayy easier. maybe cos it was online so they made it easier or maybe it's always like this idk, i always dont know

I didn't get any tutors, but I studied SO MUCH, and I'm kinda starting to regret it. Literally none of what I studied appeared on the test, but at least I can find the equation of a cubic function when I'm b0ReD.

omg yes i did one on one tutoring and spent SO MUCH time going through the 3 science textbooks and i regret it so bad bc barely anything was in the test. i didn’t study much for the maths part but w the essays, i would try to write one a day to practice.

I did my interview on Wednesday as well mine went for around the same length of time as you, like 17-20 mins? But I had male interviewers.

Well I did tutoring in the past, so my basics and everything would be better than most, I quit a while back. For the JMSS exam, I didn’t go for any special tutoring or anything, I kinda just flipped through my old textbooks and reviewed trigonometry cuz I’m bad at it and winged it. I didn’t decide to go to the exam until the last minute.

I did a bit of tutoring but it was more focused on exam strategies and getting used to the way the exams are set out, definitely helped me (and even if I don't get in it's still important to be able to take exams well so I'm glad I did it). I didn't spend ages on it tho, I did like 6 weeks of it with a few weeks break (COVID rescheduling) between the end of it and the exam.

Insta-Instagram. I studied pretty hard during the last months. I would study for the maths and nr a lot as I had those tests and I found them very easy. I use to go two tuitions where I submitted essays and we did tests. I found one of the tuitions very easy so I quit that and stayed at James an which was harder. I usually practiced essays one a week and I averaged higher than 86%. I often neglected the essays thinking there would be no essays. I usually went through the science year 9/10 book this helped quite a lot. I feel that the info I learned was a bit irrelevant and the test was much easier than expected.

mine was about 20 minutes too, I don't think it'll matter too much how long it was, provided you made a good impression - just luck of the draw a bit as to what questions you got and how long you could talk about them for. :)

Don’t lose hope if you didn’t get a first round offer. There is always a very small chance you will get in second round. A chance is a chance. Some people have to get in that way.

Lmao I didn’t get in but I’m thinking to write a grievance letter as my interview was super messed up. The interviewers didn’t pay attention to me and took off their headphones when i was still speaking, plus i could barely hear them since the webex software kept lagging. Would writing a grievance letter lower my chances of a second round offer?

Lemme know your opinions lmao

In my case the interviewer removed the headphone at the start of the interview and there was a bit of echoing in the beginning. After that she was interrupted by someone for more than 30 seconds. So, I don’t know whether I should write a letter.

Congratulations to everyone who got an offer for year 10 in 2021, you all did so well and your hardworking finally paid off!!
But to everyone who wasn’t offered a place, don’t be discouraged by it, remember you can always tryout for year 11 next year. Personally although I failed MHS last year, this year I still got an offer for JMSS for year 11 next year, so just keep your faith and work harder and I’m sure you’ll shine when the time comes!
For everyone who got into JMSS next year, I look forward to working with you all next year :))

oof break free bro, if it's what u want it's what u want, make it happen, leave no regrets

i mean it's easier to bs than do so like take my words how u want

like there won't be nerds as in people who do nothing but study, surely to get past the interview u would have to be at least somewhat social and involved

Make a PowerPoint on why u want to go to jmss, study like crazy (to prove that you can do it!!!) or do anything to convince her. This is your future and if you’re up for the challenge I think you should go to jmss. Plus you passed the interview and test so that already shows you’re pretty capable.

I also recommend getting information on the website and inform her on the opportunities JMSS can offer. Then just summarise all the information and tell her that not going to JMSS will be a devastating missed opportunity.

If you wanna go, you have to go. Theres gonna be opposition in whatever you do in life, so if you really want it you have to go out and get it. You may be a procrastinator now but going to JMSS is going to change you. And think of the butterfly effect, it may be used to describe events within chaos theory but we can easily apply to our everyday lives, where the smallest of choices can have massive impacts.

Hey guys ! I'm in year 12 at jmss currently :) Whilst it might seem like we're all nerds from the outside, we're actually a very diverse bunch of kids. Theres heaps of students with differing interests like sport, music, writing all against a backdrop of science! We have lots of lunchtime clubs that are catered for people with diverse interests :)
Well idk but anyways my mum just seriously doesn’t want me to go rn, just gave me a 10 min lecture about why I shouldn’t go ;-;

Don't worry ! I was a big procrastinator in year 9 hahaha but I think you've just gotta remember that you're still in year 9! year 10 at jmss isn't that difficult, you don't need to ace every subject, just enjoy the year and content you learn because it's last year you get before the big black hole that is vce sucks you up hahaahah goodluck everyone and congrats to everyone who got in :)

Omg I saw you in the 2018 JMSS thread (yes I read up to 2017s JMSS threads) I’m honestly not super smart... do you think I’ll be fine in VCE? I’m kind of scared that I’ll be really behind.

It depends on how confident you are at English. Obviously JMSS still offers it so they have people doing the subject and getting reasonable scores but a lot of people also consider it to be the hardest English subject. In the end it matters on what you want and what you’re prepared to work hard at.
Btw I’m going to JMSS next year and also want to do lit in VCE.

I'm actually in my lit class rn hahha, hmmm it really depends. I don't really think the fact that we are a science school has a big impact, as  we still get pretty good scores in the englishes. do you enjoy english? do you you enjoy reading and writing? I did literature last year, and this year I decided to drop history and take up both lit and english. Personally, I'm doing better in english in terms of sacs and probably ranking BUT I will say it is alot harder to do well in english, because the cohort is considerably larger. Lit does require lots of work, lots of reading and you have to undertake alot of this yourself because you choose what type of writing you wanna do (in terms of feminist, marxist psychoanalytical etc...) hope I'm making sense! English on the other hand, you don't really get alot of freedom. You have to write in a very specific essay structure, whereas in lit you can just do whatever you like, so long as you form a cohesive piece of analysis. Don't worry though, because you still have year 10 to sort of test out how you feel, and if you pick lit in year 11 and decide that you don't like it, you can always drop it in year 12 and pick up english, or do both like I did :)

Hii!! hahah it's crazy, the 2017 thread blew up but I stopped using AN for like 3 years lol the truth in with vce, is that it's really proportional to the amount of effort you put in. I'm not naturally that smart either hahaha but i like to think that I put in a fair bit of effort and I think that's what really matters. Form good study habits, be proactive and youll be fine!!^_^

Hi, Hello

It is really rare. You can only get a offer if someone in your school rejects the offer.

Hey! Did any of you guys write a grievance letter? Also what are chances of getting a second round offer if the ppl from your school accepted the offer?
Title: Re: JMSS 2021 Entry
Post by: Hellothisisme on September 15, 2020, 06:16:39 pm
It doesn’t matter how many people from your school reject their offers - after the interviews everyone was ranked so there is a waiting list. If you’re near the top of the list even if people from your school don’t reject their offers you’ll still have a chance.
So it doesn’t matter whether or not people accept their offers. You’ll either get a second round or not.

Do you guys know when the second round offers come out? Because I know people had until the 18th to accept their offer, so would the 2nd round offers come out in the holidays or after that? Thanks

I think they would come out in the holidays and start of term 4. I know 5 people that have rejected their offers.

hey guys , for the document , did anyone send a passport ? If so , you dont need to get it cited by someone right ? As it is a legal and original document .
Also yes second round offers should have been sent already as people had until 18th to reject
but there could be more letters coming out on the 25th because anyone who has not given the school the papers needed by then will have their offer terminated.

Yo,
I'm trying out for JMSS for Year 10, and had a few questions in mind. Is it enough to practise through a Year 9-10 maths book for NR and Maths, and practise through a Year 8-9 Science book. I'm not sure if this is enough as my parents are not willing to send me to tutoring. Also is the test similar to the selective exam?
Thanks for everyone's help  :)
