to any people this year doin this its kinda whacky so like in NR most of the questions are based on like time, distance, speed - ratios - really basic number sequences and grids - and some algebraic worded problems. In math its technically again time distance speed, ratios, quadratics, parabolas, linear equations, powers and like powers in fractions, trigonometry, one question on like probability, basic algebra, some area of like circles and worded questions on them - also had some questions about volume n stuff - for science reasoning its basically jus usin ur own knowledge - remember photosynthesis, ohms law, time distance speed, colour changes in rays, basic questions like - 'what diseases can be inhibited if a tree is ringed,' some basic velocity physics, and thats it - the prac and informative is just them giving you info and you having to like write bout it - remember to write a good amount and analyse hella cuz they mark hella on that shit. i got in wit like an average and high average so like dw bout scores too much but tryhard on the interview - also do not waste 6 months studying for it - id say give it 2-3 months to study and you're fine

Hi!! I really don't mean to be offensive, but in literally every one of your videos, you say you haven't achieved what you wanted e.g. you failed SHS, you didn't get the ATAR you wanted AND you didn't clear JMSS, so what is really the point of watching if we don't know if it works? Please reply, because it is a genuine question
Hi, in regard to this topic. I just wanted to share my experiences with everything that I've done. As to why you should watch? Well, it's because I have helped and tutored students to get into JMSS and EBSS regardless of my results. I genuinely believe that I can help other students with entrance into selective schools. However, this isn't the case with VCE as I don't think I am capable of providing any sort of helpful study or academic advice. If you don't find what I say to be helpful or do not think it works then that is entirely up to you. Sure, I might say I didn't achieve what I wanted at the time. But, I still want to just share my process regardless of the results. Would I say I am disappointed? Every now and then for a small period of time but, I just think that maybe some things were not meant to be and that my values have shifted elsewhere. I hope this clarifies a lot of your concerns.
Bro i swear to god, stop doing this, this is like your 100th comment asking what the answer is, become smart so you know the answer, stop bloody asking us, i swear to god
Hi, great video. Just wondering if there is much need for the use of a calculator? I’ve also heard that the test itself isn’t as hard as this checklist, do yo if the standard has changed, or is this guide just supposed to prepare you as much as possible, keep up the great work!
hey Nathan, you aren't allowed to use a calculator. As for the actual content it's still a great guide to follow. In regards to Maths, majority of the topics listed will be on the exam but the mains ones are between Algebra-Linear Relationships. All the other topics are just 1-2 questions that could pop up. As for the rest, Science changes every year but focuses more on skills rather than knowledge. Ideally you do want to have a great understanding of year 7-10 science. Numerical adds some new number patterns but the ones I've listed are still relevant. I hope this helps
Hey, Jayce I have a question about your video. In the science reasoning will they always give background information about the questions or just give you the question like the examples in your video. Also, about the essays, I have heard that you get one prac report and one informative piece. Which one is the "Analysis and Overview" and which one is the "Interest and Communication". Thanks a lot for your help.
Will there still be informative and procedural writing if the year 10 exam is online (which it most likely will be)? Because i heard that the year 11 online exams this year did not have writing and instead had some science paper, science reasoning, numerical reasoning and mathematics.
@@cyrusfr I might make videos for JMSS prep cause many people are curious about it. But in the interview there are two parts one is group and one is individual. For the group they gave certain survival materials (eg: matchsticks and food items ) and order them from most important to least important. They check how u contribute with others and also ur own decision making skills. For the individual interview they asked about what career u are looking to do (I said I wanted to be a pharmaceutical scientist) and they just asked general questions about some awards u have and also people that you look up to
@@seyonrajaratnam7551 did you take the selective school exam the year before, if you did was the math and numerical reasoning exams similar to the sehs exam for year 9 entry
@@JayceBatallones Sorry for the late reply. But I was able to get onto the practice exams and at the time the checklist wasn't working either. It's all good though now, it must've been something with my computer at the time.
my interview is on the 25th of August, and I am not a native speaker of English (accent is huge) so I am extremely nervous. Can you give me a few questions of what they might going to ask and how long is a interview?
@@neelgera9135 geez why are you so toxic? Most people here were watching the video to prepare for the test. Myself included. You should be wishing each other good luck than acidifying relations ...

hey good luck for ur exam! as a current jmss student i can tell you that the exams are definitely not as bad as you think they will be, this list is very extensive and in my opinion the exams were definitely not as hard as how this video explains it!!

in the science reasoning they give you background information but the normal science is general knowledge

Yes they do for the most part. Thankfully you guys didn't receive a practical report this year.
@@JayceBatallones We did recieve a prac report this year
Can you please do one for the year 8-9 selective school tests

I’m a year 7 trying to enter JMSS, should I start practicing early?
Do you think the test is easier than the other selectvie school ones
Hi Jayce, which tutor can help me to prepare for JMSS? Can you guide me.
how much time should I entertain myself if my exam is after a month?
tbh it's depends on how well you know your content and how well you do on practice tests. But a good 50,50 balance is ideal.
What is answer to the question on 6:18
pre sure its a
do you guys know what will happen in the interview
what would be the answer to q22 6:42
Would it be b, clockwise slower because it’s a smaller wheel therefore turning slower? I don’t know lol
is the year 11 exam different to the year 10 exam?
hey, will the answers be given with those practice tests on the website?
yes, answers are provided
In the exam do we do both science interest and science analysis or just one
for year 11 entrance you only do a SIC whilst year 10 has both
Wouldnt question7 6:49 answer be 5?
im so confused as well
Can you do one for schs please I beg u
I haven't applied for SCHS so idk much about the whole process. However, my general selective school video is relvant to that exam.
Are we aloud to take things such as a calculator?
nope, no calculator is allowed
Are the James a college practise tests harder than the actual test?
according alot of ppl yes and they say that jac just spams tests with no teaching
alsoj failed sehs cause they taught me nothing 😭😭
Me too😢😢😢
some of the questions there are no right answers like parrallel line one and cone one
yeah I didn't double check a few of them. A new updated guide video with updated questions will come out by the end of July
