Hi guys, does anyone know what subject in HAST is the hardest and easiest? (Specifically for entry into year 8 or 9). I’m trying to find out what I should prepare for the most.

Wait so in abstract reasoning, what's the hardest part?? I heard there are like 3 sections where one is next in sequence, the other is middle of sequence and the last is complete the pattern. I've heard people saying that middle of sequence is the hardest. What should I practice the most?

last yr for me that middle sequence didn't even come, all of them were complete the pattern but yea prac the middle sequence its hard so u can score easily there compared to others. for eng english its reading n humanities ( together ) n maths is maths and science together pretty sure (i mean i wrote the exam at girra so it may vary tbh so yea)

nah mine wasnt abt a schizo it was abt a guy with really shit grades and he was comparing with his peers who were always celebrating cuz they were smart and then his parents were like abusive so he wanted to kill himself but then he heard a voice that told him not to.
I love writting creative writting prompts that talk about mental health or something thats like really deep because theirs so much you can write so much abt it and I find I score the highest in those types of subjects.

What are my chance of getting into either sgghs or girra for year 10 2026 ( also which preference should i put it on), i got first place in math for 3 years, src for 2 years, dance team, debating team, been to all the sport carnivals for zone, first place this year for stem, commerce and math, do only one outside extracuricular like adfa, im working on my dofe and tutor mathematics to year 3 outside of school, got reserved last year for sgghs (year 9 2025) and
my naplan for math is all triangles but my writing and grammer is at the white box for 60% with the state
My valid exam is not that great but it high Level 5
my science and english are poor and my science has been dropping with A to B but now im getting mid range B in english
All A's in my other classes
I also got a scholarship two years in a row each lending me $2000, ($4000) in total
I got student of the month
Do math accelerated
Participated in math competitions
Please tell me if this is enough because i'm kinda sick of applying on not getting in and rather go to a good public school atp. Should I put girra 1 st preference or 2nd?
Also what are some ways to study for the mathematics reasoning or English? I'd love for any feedback and ways I can improve this portfolio.

Thank you for the advice because honestly I'm stuck on it because I heard theres an extra class for new year 10 but also its more achieveable to get into sgghs because I got reserved
