JMSS 2023 Entry

<< < (5/7) > >>

ClassyRaven:
Hello! I'm planning on doing the Year 10 2023 entry test this year, and I have a question about preparing for the test.

My school doesn't use any textbooks for science, so does anyone have any good resources that I could use to prepare? These could be theory notes or even practice prac report topics, just anything that you think would help me with the science portions of the test.

Thanks a bunch in advance!  :D

ClassyRaven:
I have one more question  ;D

Is there a way I can sort of brush over the fact that I don't do any extracurriculars? I was thinking if it came up in the interview I could just tell the truth and say how my school doesn't provide any extracurriculars suited to my interests in physics and IT (and then tie it back to the fact that jmss's extracurriculars would be able to cater for my interests) or, would it be better not to talk about my current school at all?

Thanks!!

I did the yr 10 entry last yr and unfortunately flopped, but I'm planning on doing it again for yr 11 this yr. Is it any different compared to last time? and if so how?

hiya! so umm I don't know how  to like mention ppl but  from all the things that i read and experienced from tuitions and school i used : Ted talks, Khan academy, yr 10 n 9 oxford, yr 10 icas tests and tuition prac tests. Some topics that we covered were Physics, Geology, Biology and basic chemistry, also for science reasoning there is a lot of numerical reasoning questions well this is from my tuition. Its like a mix of selective school numerical and school science.
But yh to sum up :
Khan academy on like genetics and chem basics and earth science + yt vids
ICAS practice science tests
oxford yr 9+10
and like i find some books at da library as well as tuition stuff:)
