Hey shadestache or anyone at JMSS, what kind of test scores did you get through high school?
Also, does JMSS get as stressful and difficult as I'm told? And will I still have time for games and friends?
I second the same things that quinn_03 has mentioned.
I went to a crappy school, so it was easy to get high marks. Things only get "stressful and difficult" if you make them "stressful and difficult". If you're able to manage your time well, have a balance in your life and can maintain a "mental stability" during times of stress, then you'll be fine. Obviously, you'll still have time for social life and hobbies. As of now, we don't get an insane amount of homework or anything. I'm not sure what Year 11 and 12 will be like, but I can only presume that it'll be hectic? Apparently the sacs at JMSS are difficult, so feelsgood. But even so, just remember that "it's not difficult, it's just new." If you take the time to learn new, confusing concepts that seem "difficult", you'll eventually get used to it and it won't seem that way anymore.
Hi guys! I know this is late, but does anyone remember what the Science Reasoning is like? Could you please give me an example?
Thanks in advance!
I don't really remember, but just think and respond logically. I've seen this question so many times that I don't really know how to answer it :') It's not very "concept-heavy", so don't worry too much.
I don't do much outside of school except for Maths tutor and a Fitness thing. Will this be a major issue?
Also, I've heard that the interviews are the most crucial part of getting into JMSS. Can anybody tell me what kinda questions they ask and how the interview stage generally goes? Thanks 
The interview stage is probably the most stressful stage since the cut-off is significantly smaller. Since you're a Year 8, you should try to be more involved in things at school this year and next year. Just don't overload yourself to the point where you burn out.
Anyway I can improve my physics skills? Partically energy transformation as my current teacher doesn’t teach it well and while I’m not doing too bad so far, it’s my weakest field of science to understand. I’m more of a biology and chemistry person.
First things first, find a way to motivate yourself to learn physics. If you're trying to improve at something, especially if it's learning a new concept, you need to be able to focus. Lack of motivation and pessimistic thoughts are going to be the biggest hurdles. It's a lot easier to study things that you enjoy.
There's a bunch of resources online and different ways you can learn information. Books, textbooks, videos, articles, infographics, people (friends, other teachers, tutors, siblings, etc.), summary sheets, etc. Not everyone enjoys reading information from textbooks. Find what works for you.
It's alright to be strong in chem and bio, but weaker in physics. You're not expected to be good at all 3 sciences.
I’m also wondering, what physics qusstions will be on the science reasoning test?
