from their website basically an accelerated maths class but take the best students out of that class and place them into a class called “specialist”

i think anyone from any level can try but i’m assuming the specialist class is mainly made up of students already in the accelerated math class

Guys, I did a HAST yr 9 comprehension practice test and got 80%, is that bad?

 

[Constantspy977]

Depends. It's percentile so it depends on the marks of the other students as well. But generally that's good. Try aiming for 90% tho, that's a safer range

wouldnt say it’s bad but it’s not exactly in the safe spot, where did u get them?

 

[kkk579]

whered u get these

 

[kkk579]

Yeah but I believe these samples are for junior secondary. They're great to familiarise yourself with the format of the questions. Here's a year 9-10 scholarship test. Not for hast but similar

ooooo thanks!

Guys does anyone know what the ngo and sons specialist classes are about?

yup i was gonna do it but i was too ceebs and stingy ab the $600 per term price. here's a rundown:
you have to sit a test and they determine if youre suitable enough. it's for kids who excel in maths & want to be pushed as far as possible. u finish the hsc course like 9 months early because in yr 10 u skip a bunch of topics n go straight to prelim calculus. my friends who do it have the specialist class on monday which is 3hrs, plus a regular mx1 class on thursdays to go over the topics that they skip during specialist class. so 2 lessons per week.
class is filled w selectives

But what's the point though. Is it to have one less subject to worry about in year 12, or why
