Hi guys ok im new to this atar thing but anyways

yes i went to the information night! I spoke to heaps of teachers and students there, including the principal :)

They were all quite helpful tbh

for me, i find myself studying a lot on one day, then a little bit the next. I'm not very consistent with it but i make sure i dont go without a day of at least 2 hours. even if the two hours is just revising over what ive learned. I like to use my siblings too. I have a younger brother who i tend to teach about thing things ive learned etc, i remember it so much better that way.

I wanted to ask, does anyone know how many students JMSS will invite for an interview?

Hey, I am also trying this year, and I was wondering, what did the principal, students and teachers say that were so helpful? :D
Also, I think about 1/3 get invited for an Interview and apparently 80% of those people (selected for an interview) will get in. (Thats what I read on the web when I had the same question)! PM if you like to disscuss study materials and maybe help each other?! :D
:D

Yep, was pretty cool eh? That JMSS graduate at Med School was sooo cool haha, I was surprised to see a Med student like that :P. The principal and students weren't too bad either. Anyone coming to a school tour?

It's great to hear that the principal and students weren't too bad! Most of the students are pretty friendly too from what I have seen today!

Yeah apparently it's around 3.30pm so if you're planning to go you might need to leave early or just take the day off!
Although I highly recommend that if you're going this Thursday, don't skip school because we have NAPLAN :'(
But yeah just leave after NAPLAN, that's what I'm planning to do :P (since the last 2 periods of the day the teacher said we will just be doing work and she won't be teaching)

Alright, so im kinda new here too (look at this awesome first post) and i'm gonna try out for jmss this year too. :)
Sadly for me, i didnt go to information night and also didnt go to exhibition night, so itd be pretty cool if you guys tell me about it.

And it'd be pretty nice to share some study techniques and materials.



~~~~look at that great name and the avatar.~~~~

Firstly, nice name and avatar :P.

If you didn't come along to the information night don't worry, there was nothing in there that you can't find out from the website. There's plenty of people that didn't attend, so don't worry :). Perhaps try to book a tour as well? I have one next week, and you could probably ask as many questions as you have :P. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss stuff!

Best of luck :D

Hey guys, I'm gonna be trying out for JMSS this year too.

Does anybody have any idea what the interviews will be like? The tests seem pretty straightforward (from what I've heard), but the interviews not so much.
