the applications will be released in june next yr, check the websites dor the schools in 2022. nothing u can do atm

 

[joe mama]

also, how do I prepare for the HAST test, is there any past papers or websites? And for ICAS, you guys got any tips or websites to help?

icas u dont need to study it's data interpretation
the hast test just make sure you have a solid understanding of basic maths and can interpret data
the writing qns are simple but 20min time frmae so just make sure u can write a solid repsonse in that time
reading section is just multiple choice comprehension, make sure you are good at reading big chunks of writing without getting mixed up
and abstract reasoning u should google practise qns

work on ur exam time management, one of the sections is 30min 30qn

did u get a reserve for placing 18th still?

Yeah that was last year this year I made it. But it's kinda annoying that they only keep the reserve list till April next year.

Like what kind of stuff do they learn. Is it basically an accelerated class with harder problems

from their website basically an accelerated maths class but take the best students out of that class and place them into a class called “specialist”
