Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion (7 Viewers)

[Viva_student2025]

Hi guys, I’m thinking of buying the Notesedu practice tests in preparation for the HAST exam for entry in year 8. Does anyone have any reviews on it, or is there anything better?

Also if anyone has any HAST recourses or materials, please send me a link or a pdf. Thank you!!

sorry i have no materials atm, im only using the free version of eduest

i just realised that my sport grade for last yr (yr6) is kinda average because I was away on holiday and the instructors didn't have me take the test

ah wait, can i put down clubs (etc) in my application like tournament of minds, book club, maths enrichment and maths challenge (the one where you get the booklet). if so, would I just take pictures of my google classrooms and booklets?

Yess that's gonna look great on your application but I think getting a letter of proof from the supervising teacher or instructor with their signature would be best since they might think you js printed our or smth

hey i bought notesedu for the year 6 version of the HAST test, it was a long time ago but it was worth it and pretty similar to the actual test. i also bought selectivetrial but from what i remember notesedu was the better option! i'm planning to buy notesedu again for entry into ruse yr9

oh not gonna lie, I haven't studied these past two weeks ehe
I lost motivation and I had to do school work
is edutest for year 7 into year 8 hard or not really?

Dw guys I’m literally in yr 11 and I haven’t done any study for over a week. Just take a break and take it easy for a few days and then ur motivation will come back. Unless ur incredibly burnt out like me

same for english too; nearly everyone got 14/15/16 out of 20 for the Shakespeare analysis test and I got 15. we only got 3 weeks of prep
I made silly mistakes in maths and I barely got above 90% and I'm hoping that's an A

90% is an A

Not sugarcoating its pretty hard. There's limited spots for year 8 and many talented people don't get in cuz there's simply no spots. I'm not trying to de-motivate you, but see this as a will to work even harder. The most spots are offered for year 9 entry so if you don't get in this year try again next year

 

[nj_0]

this year is my last chance cus im doing year 11 entry
that being said, which test is less harder: hast or edutest?

I'm not sure cuz I've only tried edutest

wait sorry, is this absolutely necessary? do I just ask my teachers for a signature and say I need it because I'm adding it ti my application to transfer? there's only two days of school left..
