are you guys actually going to bring clear plastic bags? can't we just bring normal bags and leave them outside of the examination area?

[G_00123]

So, tomorrow is the test!!  How are you guys feeling? I am a bit nervous.
Also, Can we bring our phone and a bag to the test place? I am not taking in it with me but can I place it outside while I am doing the test? Because I don't know where to put my stuff in if I don't have a bag and a phone will be more convenient to contact my parents. Although, on the information sheet it says no phones and bags in the testing area. Can I assume that I can put my belongings outside of the testing area? I don't know ... Anyway
See you guys tomorrow
Good luck
Don't panic! Let's do well

they won't let you, you'll just have to find your parents after the test.

the only things you need to bring are items for writing and food, there's no need for normal bags..

I've done the JMSS entrance exam in 2016 and attending JMSS. I don't remember much but I think it is important to have a go at as many questions as possible in 30 minutes.
For multiple choice ones, if you cannot answer a question immediately just skip to next question and attept other easier ones first and then do the time consuming ones. At the end, right before the teacher tell you to put your pen down, just guess any random answer for question you couldn't answer. You would get at least one of them right.
 If you've done some practice exams you will be able to do it. The one I remember clearly is that for the science writing, there were two of them and one of them was about writing a scientific report. I think it is worth knowing basic thing about procedure, result, conclusion etc. It is okay if you don't know (I didn't know about them and still got in). The other science writing was just reading an article and kinda summarising it (the article was about coral bleaching).
You don't need to get 100%. Even myself with bad english got in. If someone's worrying about their English or doing EAL, you don't really need to worry about it.
Hope this helps! Good luck everyone for their entrance exam:D
