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

[Guest]

i'm just wondering, how long does the whole interview take place for? 

The interview itself lasts around 1 hour, I would say.

Yeah. Even when they had the letter system (my day) those who got offers got them on the same day.

I got my letter around mid-day-ish on Aug 15 (today, but like several years ago haha).

I think the do emails now (and they came out last night).

edit: just realised this was a JMSS thread and not a MHS/Mac.Rob thread... oops

JMSS offers would not be out yet as many interviews have just finished, as mentioned in this thread wait till Aug 23. They'll all be out at the same time though!

Haha I'll fill you in on what I've seen during the 'interview' week. So interviews started on 5 August and ended a week later on the 12 August. From my understanding there are three sessions (Morning, afternoon & afterschool) where roughly 40 kids are in each session. On Monday there was only one session followed by three sessions from Tuesday - Thursday and then on Friday the Year 10's had immunisations so only one session was used (afterschool).
Finally two sessions on the Monday so (from observations and guesses) I'd say 520 kids got an interview which looks to be an 'alright' number by my calculations LOL

btw does 3 and half year in kumon count as tutoring , and is kumon and unfair advantage

i vaguely remember at my mhs principals discretion thing - they asked why my report was bad and i told them why but then i mentioned that i was focusing on hendersons courses and trying to get into the mhs
interview total time <2 minutes, got in though, hooray, despite a so-so report and tutoring
not sure how well this relates to JMSS. though i assume it would be the same sort of deal, sorry

tl;dr kumon is probably an advantage but i wouldnt say its unfair and they wont decline you because of it

[SayWhen]

can someone link where it says 23rd of august
