Quick Answer
Braintree Coaching Australia's free test pack includes HAST-aligned sample quizzes in the online classroom — no payment, with a free student account to start. Paid HAST course pages list exam-style tests, reasoning and vocabulary drills, marked writing tasks and the access period. The free pack is a sampler; paid course inclusions never form part of free access.

Parents searching for HAST online mocks usually want two different things at once: a no-cost way to try HAST-style questions, and a serious rehearsal path with full papers, timing and feedback before a school sitting. This page separates those surfaces so you can start free, then upgrade to a paid pack when your child is ready for full-length timed practice.
For who sits HAST versus EduTest in Queensland, see HAST vs EduTest. If the school uses the Queensland Academies EduTest pathway instead, compare Queensland Academies practice tests.

Start with the best free HAST mocks
If your search is for the best free HAST mocks, start in the Braintree Coaching Australia free mock tests pack. It runs in our online classroom and includes HAST-aligned sample quizzes alongside NSW Selective, OC, Victoria Selective and EduTest material.
What the free pack gives you:
| Free pack | Included | Not included |
|---|---|---|
| HAST sample quizzes | Yes — try question styles before you pay | Paid HAST course library |
| Account | Free student account to start | Paid course features or marked writing |
| Cost | No payment, no card | The access period stated on a paid course |
The free pack is the honest entry point: it lets your child experience HAST-style reading, reasoning and writing items without buying a course. It does not include the paid course library, paid score reports or analytics. Those capabilities belong only on a paid product when its current course registry lists them.
Are full-length timed HAST mocks and analytics included in paid products?
The current paid HAST registry is the source of truth. It lists exam-style tests, vocabulary and reasoning practice, marked writing and an access period. It does not identify full-length platform-timed mocks or section-level analytics as inclusions, so this page does not promise either feature.
- Score reports. The pricing and inclusions registry states that paid course fees cover listed mock tests and their score reports.
- Timing. You can apply the official section timings from the ACER bulletin when your child sits a suitable paid practice test. That is a study method, not a claim that the platform supplies a timer.
- Analytics. Analytics would be a paid-product capability, never a free-pack benefit. The current HAST course registry does not list section-level analytics.
These product boundaries apply to paid HAST course packs only, not to the free classroom sampler. Check the live course outline before checkout because registry inclusions can change.
The HAST Year 8–9 course outline currently lists exam-style tests, vocabulary and reasoning drills, writing tasks with feedback, and its access period. Younger entry (Year 7) and senior bands (Year 10–11) have separate outlines. Browse all HAST courses or open the HAST preparation hub to match your school's entry year.
Paid access length, tier names and checkout URLs are always on the course page and at checkout — we do not quote a single national price here because tiers and promotions change.
How free and paid HAST mocks fit together
- Try free first. Use the free mock tests pack to confirm HAST-style items suit your child's year level and stamina.
- Name the school's paper. HAST Primary (HAST-P) and HAST Secondary use different component mixes — confirm on the school enrolment page and ACER HAST materials.
- Add timed rehearsal carefully. When pacing matters, choose a suitable paid practice test and apply the official section timing yourself. Start with the HAST Year 8–9 outline if that matches your pathway.
- Keep hub context. Section strategy, school lists and prep phases stay on HAST exam preparation; this page owns HAST-only mock intent, not the full resource guide at HAST practice tests resources.
If HAST is one of several pathways your family is considering, the multi-exam year packs guide explains how to separate shared foundations from OC, Selective and scholarship-specific practice.
