thank you so muchh
well basically first question was 'why do you think st george will be a good oppurtunity for you'
second question asked about your own personal strengths and weaknesses
third question was something about the future in year 11 what ur gonna do
then they asked me to ask questions
i proly am forgetting 1 or 2 of the questions but yeah
Hey I know you probably don't remember what you got on your HAST test, but I was just curious (because I'm also applying for st george) if you have a rough idea of how high did you score to get an interview for the school? (around what percentile)

wait (ok serious mode) my sister got the interview for sgghs too for yr 11 n her HAST was like … um… (trying to word it to not make my sister sound stupid) lower ig? 😭 anyways she made the shortlist but unfortunately didnt make it in but her REPORTS N EXTRA CORRICULARS WERE LIKE RLLY GOOOD SHE CAME I THIK 1ST IN ENG 2ND IN MATH N TOP 10 IN OTHER SUBJECTS AS A SELECTIVE STUDENT so i guess sgghs dont consider HAST as a big thing

Okay thank you so much!! That makes me feel a lot less stressed about the test. My reports these past 2 semesters have been pretty good, but I also go to a really really low ranking public school so I'm going to hope that doesn't influence their decision too much 😥

AWH I WAS LIKE U LAST YR :(
i went to the 3 lowest skl jn the state (u can check that skl) cus it was my local n i had reports ALL STRAIGHT A’S (yr 8 sem 2 n yr 9 sem 1) w a fair amount of extra cocurriculars (im new to Australia so literally had no idea what that was so i was slowly participating in some) n until now i still think that my skl was the reason for not accepting me :(
(i moved to selective for a partially selective skl)
i dont mean to be rude or anything but FOR ME even though i did much better than my sister in the HAST last yr i feel like they only considered her cus she was selective? Ik another girl who also got in n she also was selective
ANYWAYS I RLLY RLLY RLLY HOPE THERE ISNT A ‘TREND’ WHERE THEY ONLY CHOOSE SELECTIVE STUDENTS CUS I FEEL U (i went to lowest 3) N I THINK U DESERVE IT (WE ALL DO)
*fingers crossed*

By science being in the math section do you mean that there's science topics within the math questions, or do the science questions rely on you having prior science knowledge to answer it (like having to remember the topics learnt at school)? I'm taking the test for the first time this year so I have no idea what to expect..
