OMG HOW DID EVERYONE GO? AHAHAHHAHA I FEEL LIKE I DID SO WELL LIKE IDK AHAHHAHAHA BUT GOD DID I STUFF UP THE WRITING
i wrote abt my ‘actual’ country instead of australia HELP

 

[jane1820]

Wait also is the HAST marked based on how well u did compared to others applying for the same skl or across everyone?

 

[austenau]

guys why was hast kinda easy

comp was pretty hard imo, i was struggling a bit for time management in maths, but i feel like i did pretty well overall.

abstract was also mad easy bruh i finished in 10 minutes out of the 30 minutes

for writing the topic was 'dont compare with others -- sometimes youll be better, sometimes youll be worse' or smth like that, so i wrote a creative about a kid who was gonna kill himself because his marks werent good but then a voice changed his outlook on life. i started and ended with the same sentence but the clarity was very different in the sense that at the beginning, the mc thought that the world was a rotten place, but at the end he found it a very beautiful place.

That's what I thought as well. I didn't expect to see that the 9 to 10 HAST for 2023 and the 10 to 11 HAST for 2024 were not so different at all... I recognised many General Ability questions as well. Maths, not so much, but I know they reused questions. I believe the circuit questions and the candle in space ones were repeats.

You wrote about a schizophrenic? And why did you get such a good prompt... If all the '26ers got 'what would you do to make your country a better place'.... that's just so lame..

nah mine wasnt abt a schizo it was abt a guy with really shit grades and he was comparing with his peers who were always celebrating cuz they were smart and then his parents were like abusive so he wanted to kill himself but then he heard a voice that told him not to.
