Great job to everyone who got an interview. It's you that deserve a place since you've all worked so hard. There is absolutely no need to freak out if you want to be confident in passing the interview. Be proud of your efforts so far and show yourself some respect for making it to this stage. By the way, I don't see the point in studying for an interview, especially with others, because the reality is that you will be competing with them soon enough.

Most of all it is important that you express your interest,passion and belief in Science. I hope that is what has drawn you into applying for this school. If by any chance Science is not your favourite subject at the moment, please don't pretend that it is at the interview. I've tried that countless times in many interviews prior to JMSS. Luckily, I had learnt my lesson by the time I took the interview for John Monash. It is best if you try to develop an interest for Science prior to the interview. I don't believe that anyone will truly deteste a subject if they attempt to connect and establish a relationship with it. Be yourself. Have an open mind and be able to approach problems in a wide range of perspectives. Remember to be friendly with everyone at the interview, even though they may be your competition at the time, they may as well be your friends next year.

Once again, best of luck to everyone.

I found science reasoning the most difficult because the questions were pretty complex but I was able to finish it guessing a few questions though. I found numerical reasoning really easy and got through all the questions in time. The first science paper was really easy. I was so relievied to see that 'cells' was one of the topics. I knew heaps about the topic and finished it with time to spare ;D Most people selected the topic about electricity though. The mathematics was also quite easy and I got through all the questions but there were a few difficult questions at the end which I guessed. The last science paper was generally quite easy as I already knew how to write up practicals and I have done the experiment before. Overall, the exam was quite easy and you are ensured to do well if you prepare and retain an interest for science and mathematics  :D

Anyways, I got offered an interview today  ;D  Good Luck everyone else who got an interview! Btw my interviews on the 12th of August.

Hi Guys,
I found the science reasoning test probably the easiest test because of the less time pressure and because it was purely based how you can interpret different types of diagrams
The Maths was alright some of the questions were hard but other than that it was fairly basic stuff
The Numerical Reasoning was really easy, like really easy just the same number patterns and all that stuff
The Essays i found difficult especially the one last one the separate the minerals one i drew diagrams on one page and wrote the methods on the other page.
The Electricity One i believed i did alright on but i didnt draw diagrams

Overall I got the interview mines on 12/8/13
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

I'd recommend it since my interview is on 2:56pm this Monday. Wearing ur uniform would represent you going to school and doing what's right (I mean, who didn't think of skipping school?) plus, if your an SRC you can wear ur badge ;)
