[xyyvii]

how many writing prompts are in the hast exam??

I did it last year for year 8 into 9 entry and if I recall, there was 1 prompt

 

[notboard]

how many writing prompts are there in the edutest exam? apparently there's 2 to complete in 15 minutes each...

 

[saneetaa]

yeah why r they 15 minutes?

 

[saneetaa]

guys i need help!! im about to answer sudney girls questions:

Why do you want to come to Sydney Girls High School
What are you passionate about
Tell us about a difficulty or disappointment you have experienced and how you overcame it
Moving schools after Year 7 is challenging. If successful, how will you adjust to a new school environment


does anyone know what they like/looking for or know what anyone else who got into sydney girls high school trhough edu test did?

thanks!

you have to answer the questions by lying basically. you want to show them your social, productive side so you can write about how you love sports (if you don't just say that you're not good at it but you love it) and how you'll make a difference when you transfer. you should also glaze the school and make up small anecdotes in questions that are appropriate to do so such as the difficulty/disappointment question. make it so that you have character development yk.
I know I probably know nothing about sydney girls so don't take my advice heavily.

that said, are the two writing prompts for edutest each narrative and persuasive or is it random

 

[saneetaa]

thank you!!


also to answer ur question i only know for hast test but i feel like going on to the actual edu test site and seeing what they are doing might help

 

[notboard]

ah thanks
the official edutest website doesn't say anything besides the fact that the test is 15 minutes long
guess I'll be failing that bit

i'm pretty sure there is only one writing prompt for edutest, either narrative or persuasive but i'm not 100% sure just based on what i have seen in this discussion

Wait so is there a reserve list for Penrith yr 8? If so, how many ppl usually get on the reserved list?

 

[nutgodpeanut]

For our naplan results do we need to do the additional student report as well or just the student report?

 

[notboard]

all i did was submit the page that showed what result I got ie the bar with the triangle at the top and stuff

 

[Viva_student2025]

About naplan, what would be considered “good” results for HAST?

 

[annie917368124]

hey guys does anyone know for the edutest what i should study? i cant find and past papers and notesedu doesnt have any specific courses for it

 

[annie917368124]

hey i bought notesedu for the year 6 version of the HAST test, it was a long time ago but it was worth it and pretty similar to the actual test. i also bought selectivetrial but from what i remember notesedu was the better option! i'm planning to buy notesedu again for entry into ruse yr9

for ruse, what cources r u gon buy cus i havent seen any cources on notesedu specified for edutest transfer

 

[notboard]

do you know how difficult the questions are for you? if they're easy, then practice not making mistakes and solving the questions quickly in 30 seconds
the most difficult part of edutest is the time limit

 

[spiderlemonade]

for ruse, what cources r u gon buy cus i havent seen any cources on notesedu specified for edutest transfer

there are edutest courses on notesedu but it's hard to find on their website- i found it at https://classroom.notesedu.com/learn . and i accidentally bought the year 9 course instead of the year 8 one so im a bit cooked
