it really depends on how you perform in the HAST test for hurlstone and girra, and how ur essay is written for fort street. Grades and extracurriculars are also really important.

yep what @wzsmartypants said, you need to standout with excellent results from the HAST test results/ essay because that's how they initially sort through the applicants

if u want an idea on the grades u need, straight a's or close to
and extracurriculars now is a good time to start adding on more if u don't have alr
try join a sport, do as many comps as possible, join a club in ur school

Ok, I have a lot of extra curricular, like debating, soccer, fitness challenges and taekwondo, and Im going to do ICAS and hopefully do good in that, for my grades, its uncertain rn, but yeah, also I have to do selective for these schools right, cuz I heard that Baulkham hills hs doesn't do a selective test (idk if its true).

I think baulkham Hill has HAST exam. They newly introduced it

 

[Scimat]

They started running hast in 2021. But it was cancelled due to lockdown

For the hast I think you should focus mostly on writing, maths. Reading is really hard. I got a really low percentile last year for reading and still placed 18th. Abstract reasoning you just need to practice like a few weeks from the exam from those websites for job employment.
But take my advice with a grain of salt because it depends on your particular abilities
