Girraween HAST Exam (3 Viewers)

[Minari243]

Hello!! I'm in year 10 I applied for Girraween and I'm doing their HAST test next week. I'm pretty confident about the abstract reasoning section and I think I'll be alright for reading and maths. But there is a 25 mins writing section in the test. This is my first time doing the test so I'm just wondering if anyone has experience doing this and give me some advice. Thanks!

Accidentally posted this on the wrong forum and now i moved it here

P.S. reading is extremely hard so don't stress if you bomb it . I bombed it last year (like I generally don't understand any of the texts) and I still made it to Girra! (Although my maths was pretty strong). But if u think u did bad, don't stress. Because everyone else probably did bad as well.

Hopefully ill see you here next year X)

Hey what percentile did you get for each of the subjects.. if you remember?

The HAST is a mini selective essentially. I recommend having a look at the past papers as my rents did buy me them and it did help me, even though I didn't know how to prep. I sat the HAST in yr 10 and im in 12 girra rn and if u do ur best no worries you'll make it.

Uhm where can you find past papers

Sample Question Booklet*. Good luck you all

My friend sent some practice papers from there and its honestly hard asf. I hope the test is easier. Is there any chance you remember how the writing section went? What was the stimulus? (if you remember)

You remember that question in Math which had the jug, candle and match. Which option did you pick for that if you remember?

I think I did the match (literally so much is a blur, though). What did you do?

 

[Accurate]

I did the candle because i thought the match was showing smoke (i know retarded right?). But ive seen videos where candles light in a spacecraft but idk i think the match is probably right
