Hello there fellow John Monash Student/ Class mate/ Friend. Nice post regarding tips on getting into John Monash. But one thing I would definitely advise, especially when sitting for ANY exam, is to prepare months ahead and use the two/three days before the the John Monash Exam to relax, rest, and revise. You can't "learn" anything in one week, and so prepare early to build a strong basis. Luckily for me, I didn't even know I was sitting for the JMSS exam until the very day, but it was due to pre-preparation and years of learning I was able to get in with 5 superiors.
Also, in the interview, be honest. I was asked 'Are you going to school after this interview?'. Well firstly, I wasn't in school uniform and instead of stressing about making excuses, just diverge the question into a conversation. And trust me, it works, considering it was the principal what interviewed me.
Good luck with all future students who wish to try out for JMSS!!!
