guys why was hast kinda easy

comp was pretty hard imo, i was struggling a bit for time management in maths, but i feel like i did pretty well overall.

abstract was also mad easy bruh i finished in 10 minutes out of the 30 minutes

for writing the topic was 'dont compare with others -- sometimes youll be better, sometimes youll be worse' or smth like that, so i wrote a creative about a kid who was gonna kill himself because his marks werent good but then a voice changed his outlook on life. i started and ended with the same sentence but the clarity was very different in the sense that at the beginning, the mc thought that the world was a rotten place, but at the end he found it a very beautiful place.

wouldnt it be different as you are going up by one year?
That's what I thought as well. I didn't expect to see that the 9 to 10 HAST for 2023 and the 10 to 11 HAST for 2024 were not so different at all... I recognised many General Ability questions as well. Maths, not so much, but I know they reused questions. I believe the circuit questions and the candle in space ones were repeats.

You wrote about a schizophrenic? And why did you get such a good prompt...:( If all the '26ers got 'what would you do to make your country a better place'.... that's just so lame..
