April Holiday 06/04 - 10/04 Secondary School Transfer Trail Tests (HAST)

Toplogic will conduct 5 online trial tests for students seeking school transfers and planning to apply to schools that use the Higher Ability Selection Test (HAST) as the 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, question volume, and difficulty level.

The program will also include guidance on preparing for the writing section, covering strategies for analysing 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: Students will not be able to view the questions they answered correctly after completing the test, but they will be able to access their incorrect answers online.

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

Fort Street High School
