Secure Your Spot at Brisbane State High School with Online HAST Mock Tests

Year 5 students take the HAST-P test (110 minutes, 3 sections: Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, and Written Expression) for conditional entry, securing their place early but must maintain standards through Year 6. Year 6 students take the full HAST test (140 minutes, 4 sections including Abstract Reasoning) for direct entry with immediate confirmation. Year 5 entry offers reduced pressure but requires maintaining excellence, while Year 6 entry is more competitive but provides immediate certainty.

For optimal results, start 9-12 months before testing. Year 5 students should begin 6 months before testing for conditional entry. Year 6 students require intensive preparation 3-4 months beforehand for direct entry. Regular practice through 10-15 full-length practice tests helps familiarize students with test format and time management requirements. Professional preparation significantly improves chances of success.
