For me (ik no one asked but i want to see if anyone relates):

Reading 9/10: super easy im like 88% sure i got most of my answers correct but that cus i was previously familiar w most texts especially that George Orwell statement cus i anysed 1984 for fun (i eventually didnt find 1984 fun tho dont recommened)

Mathematics & science 7/10: math was 'interesting' THAT ONE SEQUENCE QUESTION LITERALLY NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS ABT HELP but since most of the exam was graphs n im pretty good w graphs the math was alright, science tho was SO EASY the circuits, light and classification questions were SO EASY AHAHAHAG

Abstract reasoing 8/10: fairly easy flew w the 'find the next one' but the 'find in the middle' was fun complicated in a way it got me thinking but it definetly took me less than a minute lets just hope i actually found the correct sequence n wasnt hallucinating

Writing 9/10: had all my ideas correctly talked abt equity, safety n public transport at the beginning it was equity, safety n equality but changed n i wrote the half a page given plus a full page w 2 lines from the following page, the reason i didnt give it a 10 was bc i was writing abt countries in general (didnt realise it said your) but when i did i couldnt say australia bc we have all the things i was discussing so ended up writing my 'actual' country which lets hope doesnt affect my mark :(
I JUST DIDNT WANT TO REWRITE THE WHOLE THING TO MAKE AUSTRALIA THE TOPIC

sorry ik the whole 'review' is long n probably most of u guys wont read it but for those who did how did u find the HAST? Also last yr i got very low 50% this time hoping to get top or middle of the middle 50% category (cus reality i WONT get top 25% trust ik)

I'll do this as well
Reading 9/10: easy, nothing really much to complain abt
Maths 8/10: the graphs were so easy to comprehend but that last question, my lazy self was not bothered to work it out. I am also scared with the science content bc science is not my forte
Abstract reasoning. 10/10: OMFG THAT WAS MY FAV EXAM LIKE EVERYTHING JUST CLICKED FOR ME ON THAT TEST PROB GETTING 95 TO 100%
writing 8 to 9/10: I felt like I was trying to be toodifferent with my whole free will schtick, and not relate it to some social issue. I yapped abt how my struggles as a person born from a different background and the cycle of piverty/trauma and like how free will will allow me to escape it. Idk if i was overzealous,... Whatever
