A guide on how to to study for the John Monash Science School exam

[Robert243]

for the interviews, does every single student need to go for it? Like for example, u had quite a lot of superiors, did u still need to go to an interview, or did you just get in straight away?   

Yes every single student must have an interview to get in straight away .

[minosne]

wait so does every single student who passed the exam need to go for an interview? Regardless of their score? Or...?
AHH I am confused Help

[achre]

Yes.
Passing the test =/= entry
Passing the test = getting invited back for an interview

[minosne]

[HELP]
how did you sign up for the volunteer work? because I would like to do some of that stuff, but i dont know where to go to look for them..
and also, Im interested/passionate in medical and you know, doctor stuff. would JMSS be the right place for me?

Thankyou!! really good guide as well!!!! 

[Robert243]

Well basically , i did my volunteer work at a doctors office . The only reason i was allowed to do it because i had family friends who were in charge of the clinic . I didn't do anything much , just sorted out documents . But you can do community service in many different places .  However i don't think it really matters , so don't stress about it too much .

You still need to pass a certain mark (let's call that the benchmark) and you'll be offered an interview. Logically it wouldn't make sense if JMSS were to interview all the applicants if they were successful or not considering there's around about 900+ applicants every year since it would be a waste of time plus then what would be the point of the exam?

Good luck with everything though waftj!

I'm really scared for JMSS exam this year. There is going to be so much competition
Can anyone tell me how many people get selected for an interview and what you need to get to receive an interview?

I think there is a certain cut off mark to get accepted for an interview.

[MostWanted.2K14]

I hope I get an interview.................
At least an interview......
I didn't get into mhs last year because of my writing
