July Holiday 07/07-11/07 Secondary School Transfer Trail Tests (HAST):

Toplogic will conduct 5 trial tests for students seeking school transfers and planning to apply to schools that use the The Higher Ability Selection Test (HAST) entrance exam for Year 8–10 Selective School entry in August. These trial tests are designed to help students become familiar with the exam format, question types, volume, and difficulty level.

The program will also include guidance on preparing for the writing section, covering strategies for analyzing and planning various types of writing tasks. Each trial test will include a detailed analysis report for each section, access to an online database for collecting incorrect questions, and sample essays for the writing tasks. (Please note: The physical trial test papers will be collected back after the teacher explains the questions, but students will have unlimited online access to their incorrect answers.)

The following selective schools use HAST as their entrance exam provider:

Fort Street High School
