JMSS 2014 Testing Talk!

Hahaha probably Science Reasoning.
Maths was okay for me, but end up guessing a few questions here and there and 5 towards the end.
LOL found numerical reasoning the easiest.- Hahaha but still ended up guessing a few that I realised there is no way I could finish it under 45 secs.

WBU??

Yeah for me it was Science Reasoning that was the hardest, then Numerical and Maths. I heard there is a Hendersons course for interview preparation... Might consider it .

Same, I found Science Reasoning the hardest - Timing was not an issue but the content was like "WTF" in some questions. Maths and Numerical reasoning were great but still guessed like 5-10 cause I skipped over complicated/big questions! 
Yeah, I am definitely going to Henderson's interview preparation if I get an interview! Its probably very accurate just like their workshops! 

[SKGUN11]

I also found science reasoning the hardest, followed by mathematics and then numerical reasoning. I finished all of them on time though and only had to guess 1 question in the whole of the exam.

wow seriously? Didn't you skip any?

Did you end up making educated guesses or rushing questions on long and intimidating questions because of time? That's awesome haha .

Well, I did skip or guess some, but I managed to come back near the end and answer them all.

I don't really know how I did it, it just seemed like everybody on the tables around me were going really slow in the test.

Edit: What happened to the name of this forum? I swear it says class of 2017 discussion thread...

Edit 2: And now it's normal again... strange....

Don't go to Hendersons, it's a waste of money! Went there last year, and it's not worth the money! Just ask current JMSS students the layout of the interview and the questions they asked on solo interview!!

Thanks for the heads up

[SKGUN11]

Anyone know what they would talk about as their "passion" in the interview?

Hey guys, my school just distributed our semester 1 report and like I didn't received many A's. Like Science was okay, but then English was just mainly C's. I'm worried that during the interview the examiners would not be impressed with my report and will just kick me out :/
Any ideas or suggestion guys??

The report is only a tiny part of the process, smash the interview and you'll be fine . I personally averaged A+ overall barely... But got 2 D's, 3 C's and 2 UG's, mainly for Chinese .

How were the comments from your teachers?

[SKGUN11]

We get graded in High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Merit, Pass and NS respectively.
I got HD for maths, D1 for science, C1 for English, C2 for P.E and the rest were Merit.

dw, it does not really matter that much, I hope. Just elaborate on how much you would benefit from JMSS rather than your current school! Dont worry, you will smash the interview!

Oh... haha, well i'm sure you will ace everything

How were the comments from your teachers?

Thanks Hannibal, LOL well they were really positive feedback, in Humanities, Maths, Public Speaking and Science. However, English was so so.- Partly because i never study for my spelling test LOL and yea electives were okay.
hahaha in terms of behaviour, they were okay. LOL well apart from my electives and subjects like Personal Development, ICT, Music and etc, they are pretty solid.
For now, Lets just worry about our interview

I have the same grading system as SKGUN11 ahahah! High 5
I got HD for all subjects except for science and media
What if science is actually my second worst subject for some reason It makes me worry because of this...
