This is quite late but the test was way harder than I thought...
I didn't do very well on the first science test and numerical reasoning :( but its whatever, how did you all go?

I also met someone on discord who also had it on august 7th ???
I just read the email and apparently

Quote
Students will need to allow an hour and ten minutes for the online process, which will include a written task and a panel interview.

Any idea on what the written task might be on?

Hey man I got an interview too! mines on 6th aug 1.30 pm. good luck!
I think the interview will consist of a 1 on 1 with a teacher and the written task would test your logic/thinking, based on the one i did last year (not online), which was some maths questions

Mine is on the 6th of August too at 11:45 tho. I am so confused on the structure of the interview and what the written component is tho. Also what certificates and anything like that are people sending in. And does anyone have any tips for the interviews??

So do you reckon the writing is a maths one or like essay type thing, like do we need to prepare for it?? I'm not 100% sure if you're right about it being a 1:1 interview because the email said it would be a pannel interview which makes me a bit nervous. But does anyone who possibly went through the interview process has any tips or advice on whats sorts of questions they asked and how to prepare

Hey sorry for the late response, I think the first part is some kinda of maths quiz that shouldnt be too hard to see your thinking process. I doubt there will be any group work this time and the second half will be your one on one interview. Don't think you can really prepare for the maths bit but you could prepare for the interview. Good luck!

I thought that the quiz and group activity were for year 10 entry students only? I doubt we will have a maths quiz for a writing task

also if anyone here is in the Jmss discord can u dm me the invite pls

You dont get your score unless you request it when they send an email and then they are released in term 4.

Good job to everyone who got accepted into JMSS for year 11 next year. This year I tried out too, and fortunately I was offered a spot for year 11 next year :))))
Who else got an offer? This is really exciting and how are you all gonna get to school next year?

I'm already at JMSS.
A lot of people catch public transport, especially the Dandenong line trains, Glen Waverley and Ferntree Gully buses. A handful are driven to school (this is based on what I've seen BEFORE COVID)
I catch public transport, what about you?

Yeah I’m gonna catch public transport too. I think from where I live it’s easiest to transit from Blackburn station and then take a bus straight to Monash uni. How is online learning in JMSS like? I’m really curious in how your school days structured if you don’t mind telling me  ;D

Hey guys im a new yr 11 next yr, however, am really concerned about catching up on mathematic-a. Like many other schools we don't actually rely on the software at all so could you maybe give me an insight into what and how it is actually used. thank you :)

My bad I haven't been on this site in a while
I didn't get tutored for jmss so dont worry it is definitely possible to get in w/out a tutor, tbh tutors are kinda overrated if you're already keeping up with your schoolwork (or going ahead).

Goodluck for ur exam :)
Dont hesitate to shoot me a dm if u have any other questions, ill be glad to help
