Start reading books. BROADEN YOUR VOCABULARY!! Sometimes they'll ask u questions on like 'what is this text's tone' and then they present 4 complex words. its basically a guessing game if u dont know the meaning of them.

thanks for this! do you recommend any books i should start reading, i'vent picked up a book and properly read it in years (other than what we're reading at school)

If you don't mind sharing, what school did you apply to that accepted you despite not doing that well on the HAST?

chs and sths + sgghs are relatively easy to get into in year 11 and year 10, I heard sydney tech they dont really accept people who dont have them as their first choice. everyone moves from sgghs i have friends who go there im pretty sure 12 girls moved to either sg, nsg or meriden so they like accepted 20 girls for class of 2026. i think hurlstone is on the relatively easy side to get accepted iirc

any books, anything you enjoy. i used to really like dystopian books, they have really good description as well as yk those holocaust/ war/ communist type shit biogrophies and stories, they also have REALLY REALLY good description that can definitely make someone cry and feel emotions. honeslty they dont even have to be books, you can read poems, short stories and soon you'll start to find structure and emulate their writing.
