For written expression in HAST, it says there could be a topic or issue that prompts discursive writing, or an image that prompts narrative or creative.
It also says you can write in any style.
So if it shows an image, can I still write a persuasive text, or will I loose marks for not writing in the style that is suggested by the prompt?

The last time I did that question, you just have to come in the exam with at least a basic structure and a well thought out character before going in because i got the 2nd percentile for the one section.

For HAST, I got an email saying that I’m in group 3 when I get to the test centre (Penrith high school), and some of my friends got group 1 and 4. How do they choose the groups? Is it in like alphabetical order or like your grades??
