HIGHER ABILITY SELECTION TEST

What is HAST?

HAST is a standardized test designed to identify students with exceptional academic potential or academically gifted students. It provides opportunities for selective entry in to their dream school. HAST plays an important role in shaping the educational paths of talented students across Australia.

Who takes HAST?

HAST is usually taken by students in primary or secondary school who are interested in admission to selective programs that offer a more rigorous and accelerated learning environment. It typically assesses reasoning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and written expression skills beyond the standard curriculum. These skills are essential for success in academics. It is important to focus on higher order thinking skills rather than encouraging rote memorisation. HAST ensures that gifted students are recognised and given the chance to flourish.

Strategic Planning to prepare hast:

It requires strong dedicated efforts and strategic planning to prepare for HAST. We at Mind mentors help students to engage in diverse learning activities to enhance their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Practice tests are valuable resources that can help students familiarise themselves with the test format and type of questions they may encounter.
