It was a little tough to do it within the time limit, and a few questions I couldn't quite get my head around . I have a few assessments, but the majority of them were done a few weeks ago, so now it's downtime .

Btw, 3 weeks to go!

Yeah aha I felt the same. I dont the NR Exam is that difficult, it apparenlty has most patterns and number sequences!
Ikr, 3 WEEKS!!! ARRGGH.
Its wierd because I do not feel as good as I did last week about the exam. I mean like, last week I wouldnt of minded doing the test cos I felt kind of ready but today I feel not ready at all! Anyone else feel this way? Its probably the nerves. Plus I have NHS Exam in 12 days

Hahaha dw, I'm on the same boat as you!!! Hahaha i'm not applying for NHS :/ lol best of luck man!!
LOL yea it's probably the nerves that makes us feel very anxious...
LOL and like it's weird how I have a few friends at school who are applying for JMSS as well seem really chilled out at school

Yeah, I'm on the same boat as all of you guys. I've got a history cat due on monday and a few other assessment tasks I need to get done on top of the study for JMSS.

Yeah school comes first. I've finished everything and all the time is dedicated for study for JMSS. However, I always find myself procrastinating on AtarNotes or something

Hey! Omg me too! And yeah balancing school at the same time is quite time consuming but not hard! Yes! Three weeks left. I feel like I'm all over the place! And when I spend more time on school I feel so guilty! Aghh I wish I wasn't nervous!

School comes first... In three weeks . I'm in a mess with school at the moment haha (Not as much study for tests and effort for assignments), but I'm sure I'll recover eventually .

[Rilin]

It should all be over after this week for me. Hopefully I have enough time to recover and I do well enough that I get good grades on my mid year report. Isn't that important at the interview?

Hahaha not necessary, because i have a good friend who got D's in his report but was still successful, because of how he spoke and his attitude towards science. LOL well for me personally, i know that my behaviour wouldn't be as good :///
what about you?? LOL i tend to talk alot at school...

[waftj]

Oh by the way, I feel more confident now. I went to this tutoring place called CTJAN, apperantly everyone who went there last year got at least an interview for JMSS, i did a practise exam and I got 2 Superiors (maths n science)!! I was quite thrilled! 

But I will feel more stressed soon. I guess feeling nervous is not that bad because it just shows how much you really care about getting into JMSS! But, I guess its distractive

Haha good job man LOL last week i got my results from JAC and apparently I only scored 36% in my maths and it was a superior!!!!! LOL it's because the test was like freaken hard!! LOL ask Hannibal about it.- HAHAHA
But then... my Science Reasoning was just average :/

haha well done. Dw worry bout the science, it is apparently inaccurate at JAC. Yeh, aha i used to go to JAC, but stopped last week!

Opposite for me... Superior in Science Reasoning (76% ;oooo) and a tad above 20% in Maths for an average. Science Writing was 18/20 too, which is awesome because my teacher literally never gives out scores > 16 . I can endorse that it's so freaking hard though .

The teacher doesn't exactly help either...
'Hey Mr Bob, how do you do Q10?'
'That's Year 11 Methods stuff, you don't need to know about it'
'Why on earth is it on the exam then?' -.-

It should all be over after this week for me. Hopefully I have enough time to recover and I do well enough that I get good grades on my mid year report. Isn't that important at the interview?

Nah buddy don't stress if your school marks aren't all perfect, because having strong communication skills, a nice extracurricular portfolio, and conveying your passion for science are all other things that are considered. I'm sure you'll smash it .
