adding on to the last one, during the interviews, TALK!!!
its really important that you're confident and well-spoken rather than shy and quiet. Make friends during the group tasks and work collaboratively, this will show so many traits that they want in a student.

Do you guys think volunteering for like science community stuff would play a part in the interviews?? Like would they take that in consideration
Personally, I think that you don't really need to just focus on science related topics to like volunteer for you should show them that you have a broad variety of interests but i think volunteering for science community stuff would help your image and make it seem like your really interested.
Did any of that even make any sense? Idek what I'm saying , but good luck on the exam everyone I'm seriously stressing out!

What scores do you need for a superior in Maths and Science.

i have spoken to people and it seems that what JMSS looks for and really likes is all-rounders. If you can play sport and do well in school they'll really like that, however if you are really good at school but not so good at anything else, they'll take that into consideration. All in all, it probably will play a part in whether you're chosen or not.

personally, i'm not so great at sports but im good at studying. I signed up for some teams just to show that i take initiative in trying new things out of my comfort zone. I encourage y'all to do the same.

Haha, I guess it's good that I started playing a competitive sport last year in addition to academic achievements.

Also, what scores do you think is a safe bet for the reasoning and math tests. Some sources online say it's common to only finish half of a selective school test in general, but surely to get a good score like a superior you need more?

AFAIK, superior just means you did better than everyone else. I think its top 10% but dont quote me on that.

It really depends, Obviously aim to get as much of the test done. I'm pretty sure (emphasis on the pretty sure) all questions are 1 mark each so just do the easiest ones first. The interviews are the most crucial part though. It's possible to get in without any superiors so try not to be stressed out too much
