also while preparing for the hast, do the abstract reasoning questions on this website, it is very important:

thats a bit risky, what type of school r u in now

 

[HyphoonShah]

thats a bit risky, what type of school r u in now

cause when i did it, fort gave outcome way after tech gave outcome, so my friend who applied fort first got rejected, but it was too late for his application to get passed down to his other choices as the other choices had already decided on outcomes before fort did

 

[HyphoonShah]

thats a bit risky, what type of school r u in now

I would have suggested sb (first as it gives outcome first so no worry), tech/normo, tech/normo (im not sure when normo gives outcome)

a top70 public school

 

[Alpcufd]

I would have suggested sb (first as it gives outcome first so no worry), tech/normo, tech/normo (im not sure when normo gives outcome)

That's a good advice, I think I'll probably apply to 3 of sb, normo,tech and fort

I got a question- im trying out for the selective school for entry into year 11 and was wondering what is the difference between the HAST, EDUTEST and the selective test? They seem similar but how are the question styles different?

I got a question- im trying out for the selective school for entry into year 11 and was wondering what is the difference between the HAST, EDUTEST and the selective test? They seem similar but how are the question styles different?

selective is held in yr 6 in nsw and yr 8 in vic (correct me if im wrong) for entry into the next year of high school, so it's a one time thing that a large number of ppl do. vic uses edutest for their selective entry and so do some top selective schools in nsw for yr 8-11 entry (so if you want to get into a selective school after yr 6 selective). hast is the yr 8-11 entry exam that most selectives in sydney use. the difficulty obv changes as you write it in diff years, so if i do edutest or hast in yr 10 compared to yr 8 its not the same exam and it will be harder.

i have sat all three exams (in sydney, idk about vic) and performed competitively and imo edutest is the hardest out of all of them, mainly because of the time pressure. you have about 30-45 sec per question in edutest if you want to be competitive (depending on your strengths and also which section it is). the question types are generally similar but i think edutest is def harder considering how much time you get and there is a reason why top selective schools like ruse use it for 8-11 entry. i dont even know what to say abt selective rn bc im in yr 11 and after doing edutest the selective exam i wrote feels like a breeze but then again i have no clue what the new updates selective test looks like so i wouldnt take my word on that.

hope that helps

 

[?!?!]

oh ok i see yeah the selective is held the year before the high school starts (year 7-year 12) so the test is in year 6.
idk tbh cause i was looking at the selective schools and what test you have to take for them. and i cmae across Baulkham Hills and for entry into year 8-11 u need to take the edutest but the other schools likes fort street and all u have the acer hast. and I im trying to practice for them but i cant really figure out if I should study for the hast differently then the edutest.
I see what ur saying abt the edutest being harder cause of the time pressure but like is that the only main difference between the two? And like on the
what did u use to study for the selective test in year 10? cause like the exam could be a bit similar to if i were to take it in for entry into year 11 im assumin
