Hey I'm doing the jmss test this year as well for 2015.
But i'm really confused as to what i should study for science, should it really be year 10 standard?
The test are
-numerical reasoning
-reading comprehension for science?
-verbally reasoning
-two test.
Im really confused as to what type of writing it is like analytical or persuasive like macrob and narrative or something.
And does anyone have a general idea as to what the cut off mark is? or are there none. Because last year when i did the Macrob test i started to stress because of it. I would assume it's more low than the mel/macrob ones.
Can anybody help?
Hey! The tests are:
Maths Test
Numerical Reasoning
Science Test
2 Science essays
So the emphasis is on maths and science, with no English
.
For Maths I am going through the Year 9 curriculum, as well as polishing up on the Year 8 stuff. Doing some practise tests as well... Can never get enough of those. Some of the concepts are quite challenging though (Compared to Year 8...) and self studying is a little daunting.
For Science I am reading books, writing notes about various topics, watching videos on Khan Academy and doing practise ICAS tests... I suppose having breadth>depth is important because you have no clue what you will be tested on. Practising writing a few scientific essays should be helpful as well, although they are annoying

Good luck! Hopefully we can both get in haha. Sent you a PM too
