I've just been using the official edutest practice tests and oztest naplan free tests

guys what resources are you using to get into HAST & edu test?

For abstract reasoning, I use the UMAT Med entry tests because they're made by ACER (same organisation who developed HAST). Idk their abstract reasoning questions just look pretty similar to the official papers

But for mathematical reasoning and reading comprehension, I just use the ACER scholarship sample questions because it said something on the Girraween high school website that they're very similar to HAST. And these are actually free on the ACER website.
Sorry, idk what to study for written expression

First you needa buy some practice tests even if they're like a 100$ or smth. They're gonna help you dw. Then complete a set and find the questions you got wrong - put em in a doc and then practice that type again n again until u understand? Ykwim?

well ok I alr bought the 3 pack thing so I'll review those questions.
what I'm wondering os that if those practice tests actually reflect the difficulty of the actual test

 

[spiderlemonade]

Hi which notesedu package are you buying?? Because there's a lot

prolly like the premium one? i think it's ~$200 but if it helps me get into my dream school(ruse, ive wanted to go since yr4) then it's worth it

 

[spiderlemonade]

I feel like having an a in math and English is pretty important but you're gonna make up for it with other subjects

thankfully my report for this term is coming out after the edutest applications close.. so ig i dont have to submit it?

 

[spiderlemonade]

anyone know if merit awards count as achievements for the portfolio? my school puts them on sentral and i have merit awards for maths and jap

 

[nj_0]

I have merit awards but they're not exactly certificates

 

[nj_0]

Honestly js put any award/ certificate you can find. That's what I'm gonna do lol

 

[saneetaa]

omds I acctually can't w abstract reasoning how do yall find it so easy...Like I've seen so many posts that are like I did the test and abstract reasoning was the easiest, like how?? Or maybe it js because all the other subjects were way harder idk.

IT HURTS MY BRAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[notboard]

oof for edutest, we dont have to do abstract reasoning which is a relief
I hope you get the hang of it because it is the worst (even my dad raged on it lmao)

 

[nj_0]

I find abstract reasoning easy kinda cuz when I was doing selective in yr 6 I really picked up on it
