JMSS Entry For 2018

[Mewfle]

Oh whaaaat, is ICAS a school thing?
I haven't heard of anything like that from my school :')

I think if I recall correctly, well at least for us, it's a competition, that's optional but you have to pay if you want to participate xD
It's just some math test/competition thing I guess. Probably good practice for JMSS though :') Although I think the last time I did it, there were also short answers/problem solving where you had to find the number out yourself, not just choose a given option

no idea, but at the mhs macrob selective last year, we had to FLIP OVER THE TEST PAPER for our working out. basically, there was just a lot of paper flipping throughout the entire hall. supa inconvenient let's pray jm isn't like that.

I have a lot of notes from last year, so didn't really need to write a lot, but it feels like I haven't covered anything at all and there's only one week left ahhh

I'm super stressed for numerical reasoning, there isn't much you can do to study for it i guess which is why I'm freaking out so bad ahah i just realised how bad i am at it ;-;
