JMSS Questions

[ihavenolife:(]

There's currently a few JMSS entry threads, but I didn't really want the questions to get lost amongst all the excitement, so I decided to make this. If you have any questions ask them here, and hopefully someone will answer but don't blame me if no one does. To start off, I was curious as to what content was on the methods test. Is it methods content? or is it just year 10 math?

Thanks in advance!

You should just give it a shot, if the school thinks you’re ready they’ll let you pursue it, but if they don’t then it just means that you need to prepare a little more. There’s no real loss in trying out (unless there’s a bill for the exam)

alright, thank youuu!


also does anyone know if they allow students to take up any other vce subjects?

Hi, Supp

As per my understanding. They allow you to take chemistry 1/2, physics 1/2, biology 1/2, and other VCE subjects.

Here is the link for JMSS's curriculum: https://jmss.vic.edu.au/learning/curriculum/#:~:text=In%20Year%2010%20all%20students,)%2C%20Geoscience%20and%20Bioinformatics%3B%20Issues

Scroll lower and you will be able to see the subjects.

Sincerely, MAN0033

You don’t actually do chem and phys 1+2 until semester 2 bcoz they think it’s important to know some of the yr 10 curriculum. They don’t do bio 1+2 in yr 10 bcoz you don’t need to do them to do 3+4 as the units are pretty unrelated. I asked this in my interview. It’s just methods that you can start right away.

Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated.
