Question 1

What is the HAST test?

Accepted Answer

HAST (Higher Ability Selection Test) is an ACER reasoning exam used by selective schools and scholarships. Secondary packages typically include Reading Comprehension, Mathematical / Mathematical & Scientific Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, and Written Expression. Confirm your band (Primary / Junior / Middle / Senior) on the school offer letter.

Question 2

Where can I find HAST practice papers or past papers?

Accepted Answer

RubricMark offers free timed HAST practice papers online — past-paper-style section clocks with fresh exam-spec items. That is different from downloading leaked ACER PDFs: you sit under time, get item review, then drill weak sections.

Question 3

Are RubricMark HAST papers the same as ACER past papers?

Accepted Answer

RubricMark serves original, exam-spec practice sampled into timed mocks and section drills. The goal is pacing and fresh stems so consecutive sits do not feel identical.

Question 4

Do you offer a HAST sample question booklet?

Accepted Answer

Yes — in interactive form. Open a year-band trial or section drill to work through sample-style question sets with the same section families ACER packages use (reading, maths/scientific reasoning, abstract, written expression). Prefer timed sits over reading a booklet once.

Question 5

How should I practise for HAST Written Expression?

Accepted Answer

Sit the timed writing task first, then submit for rubric feedback. Do not read a model answer before you attempt — RubricMark marks after you write so feedback maps to your draft.

Question 6

Which HAST year band should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Match the package on your school or scholarship offer: HAST-P (Primary), Junior Secondary, Middle Secondary, or Senior Secondary. Wrong-band practice wastes time on the wrong clock and difficulty.
