Like for the hast exam? I think they usually pick people that are in the top 10%
They care more about like ur overall ranking like all of your marks added together and then the schools get a separate ranking for each of their students

Ah ok

 

[aaliya]

how's the preparation going

its going good but I'm worried kinda for the writing n english section in the hast exam

I've heard a lot of ppl saying that the HAST schools like penrith and girraween look at your current school ranking, is that in terms of HSC or what??

I have a couple of friends who transfered to ruse, they just talked about how they'll improve the community and how they'll support their families. So just say how valuable you'll be in addition towards their school.

Hi all, does anyone have experience applying to or sitting the test at Sydney Technical High?

 

[nj_0]

LUCKYYY
except I'm doing edu test and HAST...
I've been doing thinking skills and GA for years so abstract reasoning should be easy except there's no formula or an organized way to solve these types of problems so they just pmo...
whats schools r u applying too for btw?

Which school are you going for edutest?

 

[Reeva]

My hopes are pretty low this year since penrith doesn't take many people in for year 8 entry. I'm kinda just using this as a practice for year 10 I guess

I think their Cohorts or whatever is like 3 - 6 ppl

 

[Reeva]

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?

I thought There was like 2 parts ?

 

[Reeva]

fuck off frankle
