Hi, the tips that I recommend are having a good grasp of all the topics listed in the mathematics of the thread. For Reading Comprehension you can buy practice test books and for Verbal reasoning, practice test books were also helpful when studying for the exam. If not a tutor like JAC might help out as they just make you do practice tests every week around english and mathematics. But, they won't teach you that much content. If you have anymore queries about EBSS please feel free to message me as I am a current year 12 and the creator of the previous thread :)

Hey all!
I just wanted some advice as to whether I should go to EBSS.
I am currently at JMSS and enjoying it here. It takes me 1hr 30min+ each way to get to JMSS and EBSS could cut that down to 1hr, but I've heard that JMSS is superior to EBSS, but due to EBSS being a subdivision of UHS, I cannot find any EBSS specific data. I am quite passionate about science, so either is great in that sense. Any advice would be appreciated!
---I am yr 10 btw---

How did you guys find the exam? I'm so nervous because I didn't manage to finish any of the tests and I repeated myself so many times during the essay!

Don’t fret! As long as you did your best that’s all that matters.
I finished everything except for maths... Maths was tragic 😅
