how did all you year 9's find the john monash entrance exam

[Butterscotch]

Surprisingly, so many people on AN have an interview on the 12th

Wearing your school uniform will definitely prove to look more professional than casuals

Good luck Miss_Nacii for tomorrow

Do a lot of people apply for this school? Seems like John monash has attracted a lot of applicants in a few short years since its opening...

Anyways best of luck in your interviews

I think there's a reasonable amount that apply for JMSS and it has risen quite a lot ever since the inaugural year back in 2010. By this stage I think it should be stagnating between 900-1000 applicants (again just speculation) for Year 10 entry.

And good luck during the week guise! :DD

Have an interview this wednesday and I was wondering if it's okay to put in primary school competition awards and my leadership certificate. >.> :0

Oh I found the examinations fun. Once we finished I was like "I wouldn't mind doing this again." Okay maybe thats just me
Science reasoning was sort of weird.
I wrote about an animal cell and finished 10 minutes early but like i couldn't remember all the parts so thats probably why. I couldn't remember this organelle so I called it the storage area, I later found out it was a vacuole and plant cells have them ._.
The procedure on separating a mixture was easy.
Mathematics I did alright I guess. I just kinda suck when it comes to linear equations and inequations.
Numerical reasoning was O_O intermediate but i got an interview so everything's cool with the exams HAHAHA
Now i just have to ace this interview and im on my way... :l thought I keep saying things aloud like "I can't do this I cant do this! I can do this, I totally can do this. "

Tell me about yourself. was that really in the interview? :O What do I do? Be myself..
okay everything was cool overall.

P.S Oh yeah I made this account for IndefatigableLover, I wanted to say thank-you for posting that guide! It helped me and others who tried out for JMSS and answered my questions! You must be a really nice person.
Btw why do have such a long user name? I ended up searching up what Indefatigable was and thanks I learnt a new word.

Oh I forgot to add goodluck with your interviews and outcomes! 

[Butterscotch]

Good to hear everything went well for you And definitely keep telling yourself you can do this! Oh yea, add your leadership certificate >.^ it does say to add any leadership qualities or roles For the primary awards, I'm not too sure, but if they're competitions you sure can

PS: I learnt a new word from his name too HAHA

I went through the interview today. I just realised that the date of your interview corresponds to the name of ur school. So today, I was with all the Box Hill and Balwyn high school students ^~^ Anyways, there were a total of 3 group activities and one puzzle (to be worked in solitude) The interview was quick, mine went less than 10 mins. They also have all the questions written down on paper and l found that useful. The questions they asked were basic and were there to get to know you, your thoughts and your passion.

Thank you for your kind words sushibun! And I hope that I'm a 'nice' person but AmazingLight can verify that for you
The long username was basically an alias I assigned myself when I wrote a letter for someone and I decided to have it as my username (for the memories LOL).

How did you first find out about JMSS, when did u begin to develope an interest for science ect. Hopefully I didn't do too bad, I seriously went blank on one of the questions and blurted out the first thing that came to mind - which was 'he works on a boat'...

Oh wow, thanks for the update ^^

We got ribbons??? LOL.

I bet half of them were for science fairs and the other half for winning fire drills. Flannery House at least..... 

All jokes aside, we got some really dedicated sportsmen at our school. If you love sport, you'll still make yourself at home.
