Just a question for those that go to JMSS, if you were to choose maths methods unit 1 & 2 in year 10 as an accelerated subject, would you need to have gotten a superior on maths and numerical reasoning on the JMSS entrance test? Does the same thing also apply to the accelerated science subjects or can everyone just do it?

I'd like to go a bit more further in-depth with Shinkaze's post:
Indeed it doesn't matter what you got for the entrance exam to get into the Methods accelerated class since you have to take another test to get into Methods 1&2 (which to be honest, isn't really difficult however for others, we can chat more after you've gotten into JMSS). However I stress to everybody to apply for Methods as it is a really great class (from experience here) and it's just with Year 10's and no Year 11's which is awesome too!
There's no accelerated science subjects other than Physics Unit 2 however I can vouch for the science electives to be greater than whatever 1&2 can teach you (that is some electives will be teaching things in Unit 3&4). For example, there's a science elective which is pretty much Unit 3 Chemistry but explores it outside the VCE context a bit which I would have liked if I had the chance to go back and pick it since it sounds awesome (and many others too)! Most science electives will be teaching you Unit 3&4 content now after feedback from previous years which is a good thing for all of you!
