Wow u seem so tense, u might wanna calm down :P ;D. DW, I know how you feel, I had the exact same feeling when i did the JMSS exam. I had like 15 minutes to spare, (but I still checked my work in case the teachers present ask me what i am doing). I saw ur earlier posts and I can see that u have been doing pretty well in maths so far (honestly like doing cyclic quadrilaterals and like cubic functions is amazing! - That's year 10 maths). Like u I hate numerical reasoning as well, since i needed more time to evaluate what the question was asking. Overall, DW, in 6 days regardless of your score, you can relax in the sense that you will be much less anxious. I would suggest that you continue with your passion for maths. This might be asking for too much, but try doing like simple functions from a methods textbook, like truncus, or hyperbola. Afterall, you rlly seem like u enjoy maths, so that's all i can say :P

just imo, numerical could’ve been done in a matter of time. There were 30 questions on patterns that were easy to complete and were able to be completed in the time frame. Then there were about 20 worded problems which, I admit, did take up a lot of time. So I ended up guessing all of them. Math, on the other hand had a whole range of questions. I remember there being some short straight forward ones and then there were some long paragraphed ones. None of them imo were straight forward. But saying that, math isn’t my strongest lol.

But for MATHS JUST HAVE A GO BECAUSE THE PARAGRAPH QUESTIONS HAD IRRELEVANT INFORMATION IN THEM. AND NUMERICAL PATTERNS WERE SO HARD I REMEMBER ONE OF THEM EXACTKY BEING 0,5,5,7,?

Chill man, it’s not the end of the world if u don’t get in. I’ve seen you rapidly posting about the exam so just don’t worry about it as u can’t change anything now. In regards to ur question, I found numerical like super easy but maths was “eh”. The real shit was the essay, I hated it heh, I much rather prefered persuasive

Thanks, in 6 days ill get rejected because ill get a below average for numerical, having done like 10-15 questions

Lol im the complete opposite. I liked the topic and btw one of the patterns for numerical was 0,5,5,7,? What is it i still cant figure it out

I can’t remember that question appearing but I’d do 12 as it’s plus 5, plus 0 then plus 2. then plus 5 again means 7 plus 5 is 12 lol. I doubt that question appeared tho, it’s too brief hehe

Oh yeh since u seem like really smart in maths, did u do the amc? If so, how’d u go?
-

Nah my school doesnt do amc. And if ur good at numerical u probably aced the amc
-

Yeh I hope I did, shat myself at the last 2 or so questions tho

Awwww wait I just realised, are u SNIPERLife from YouTube????

Oh hi! I did the AMC too this year, idk why but I found it ''easy-ish'', like the last 5 questions I actually got proper answers (but I bet they're wrong anyway!)
I think I'll do a lot better than last year, it seemed a lot more straightforward and the questions felt familiar. How about you?
P.S: m.yara184, dude, I've told you like 20 times but I really think you'll get in, just know that literally 90% of people found numerical hard too and they didn't even have the advantage of doing all the maths questions properly like you. You'll be fine :)
Yeh It was okayish. What’d you get for the last question, do u remember? Also, what’d u get last year?
-

For the last question (it's probably wrong) but I got 791. Last year I was only top 27%.

Oh wow, I got 252 and 2 of my friends r saying it’s 231 lol. I didn’t do that good either last year, got top 11%. I really want a high distinction but I know I got like so many wrong lol

Wow, maybe I did get something like that, I must have mixed up the questions... But anyway, top 11% is amazing, I'm sure you'll do just as well from the sounds of it. I reckon you can make a high distinction, top 10% is it?

Nah, high distinction is top 3% hehe

Oh wow, I definitely underestimated how the test is scored!

Actually on math, i finished 60 questions in 20 minutes, and numerical i finished 5 minutes early.
But for math, I’m able to do all questions, but numerical i’can’t find some of their patterns, they are so confusing!

But u did the jmss entrance test. The Melbourne high test is much harder

I agree, this year I did not expect the numerical and maths to be so hard, apparently, it was harder this year than last year by quite a margin
-

I don’t think maths was hard, it was very easy, having finished 43 questions but numerical damn, that test hated me and I hated it.

About numerical, yes, I can relate to that so much! Maths, I can relate to for some things!

no, leave that. wtf was the essay heh

Ugh I hated the prompt so much, but I just ''moulded'' another writing piece I had done to fit it - know that I look back I don't think it worked but it'll still be better than some people still (or so I hope). How did you go?
-
Maths and Numerical were both easy for me. The english subjects weren't that hard but I could of done better
