Okay, so I got in the top 10% for Reading, Maths and Abstract Reasoning and top 15% for Writing. Overall I was in the top 10% for test takers so I'd aim for that. If you get lower in one of the tests, ideally you should be stronger in another.
I did the HAST in 2023. Improving my writing, I asked my English teacher at the time how to do discursive and she gave me a booklet to work on. I did some practice writing discursive on questions I asked ChatGPT to give me or searched up online and got teacher feedback.
may i also get a copy
Could you also send me the link for them?
I took HAST this yr for hornsby and I kinda just spammed ucat online practice tests a few weeks before for maths and verbal reasoning (HAST would feel much easier in comparison to the ucat tests bc those were so messed up) also HAST abstract reasoning was all just pattern recognition it was way easier than whatever ucat abstract reasoning is, nsw/vic selective past papers also helped honestly I don't think abstract reasoning gets that much harder after yr6 its still generally the same stuff. I have a doc of like every creative I've ever written so when I was preparing I just looked over them and then on the day I adapted the most suitable one to the prompt. HAST isn't as strict on time (around 30mins 30 questions I think) so time management isn't that much of an issue good luck u got this
Similar to everyone else said but practice ucat for abstract reasoning and its just basic pattern recognition. The maths section wasn't really maths but more so science so make sure you have good basics. In the math questions, you don't really need any formulas but just need to understand how to apply concepts and information provided. For writing, you'll probably want to practice a few discursive and creatives. The prompt doesn't usually specify which one you should write but it'll be better suited for a type of writing. You can just adapt a creative but for discursives, read some exemplars and see how they write theirs.
Thank you for the detailed response, I'll try my best.
Alr thanks I'll keep that in mind.
yo nglIt was rlly good because it wasn’t even an interviewI was so nervous but turns out they just give you the student handbook and go over your subjects and explain basic info that you get when you transfer schools. They didn’t even do the documentation checks
