No thats not what I meant
first off - I meant the test would require u to use logic that the assessors would analyse
secondly - I was jokin man dont take it personally

...I didn't take it personally, you're alright. And it makes more sense with your clarification, then.

STOP ABSTRACT REASOING WAS ACTUALLY OK i personally found abstract reasoning 'easier' last yr but thats cus last yr i practised A LOT unlike this yr

 

[jane1820]

maaaaaad easy finished that shit with double triple check with 20 minutes to spare

LOL THATS ME W READING I FINISHED 7 MIN BEFORE N WENT OVER IT A THOUSAND TIMES TO AN EXTENT I WAS LITERALLY CLOURING THE BOXES NEATLY HELP

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

What was the question for writing comp again for 2026ers?

"what would you do to make your country better?"

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

I talked about we need more free will... Ummmm

I talked about poverty. Also, do you remember last year's..?

 

[jane1820]

For me (ik no one asked but i want to see if anyone relates):

Reading 9/10: super easy im like 88% sure i got most of my answers correct but that cus i was previously familiar w most texts especially that George Orwell statement cus i anysed 1984 for fun (i eventually didnt find 1984 fun tho dont recommened)

Mathematics & science 7/10: math was 'interesting' THAT ONE SEQUENCE QUESTION LITERALLY NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS ABT HELP but since most of the exam was graphs n im pretty good w graphs the math was alright, science tho was SO EASY the circuits, light and classification questions were SO EASY AHAHAHAG

Abstract reasoing 8/10: fairly easy flew w the 'find the next one' but the 'find in the middle' was fun complicated in a way it got me thinking but it definetly took me less than a minute lets just hope i actually found the correct sequence n wasnt hallucinating

Writing 9/10: had all my ideas correctly talked abt equity, safety n public transport at the beginning it was equity, safety n equality but changed n i wrote the half a page given plus a full page w 2 lines from the following page, the reason i didnt give it a 10 was bc i was writing abt countries in general (didnt realise it said your) but when i did i couldnt say australia bc we have all the things i was discussing so ended up writing my 'actual' country which lets hope doesnt affect my mark
I JUST DIDNT WANT TO REWRITE THE WHOLE THING TO MAKE AUSTRALIA THE TOPIC

sorry ik the whole 'review' is long n probably most of u guys wont read it but for those who did how did u find the HAST? Also last yr i got very low 50% this time hoping to get top or middle of the middle 50% category (cus reality i WONT get top 25% trust ik)
