The Higher Ability Selection Test (HAST) is an ACER academic reasoning test used by schools to identify academically able students for selective entry, accelerated learning and gifted and talented programs. HAST focuses on assessing higher-order, cross curricular reasoning skills that are characteristic of gifted students.
The HAST Sample Question Booklets provides an opportunity for candidates to reflect on the types of skills required of them in the test but it is not designed to teach candidates these skills. Higher-order thinking skills are acquired over a long period of time or they are skills that are innate and natural.
There are two HAST Sample Questions Booklets available. To familiarise yourself with the HAST, work through the questions as if you were sitting a timed test, and as a guide allow 1-2 minutes per question.
Please note: The new edition HAST Sample Questions booklet was published in 2023. It contains different sample questions to the booklet published in 2019 (which is also currently available for purchase). Both Sample Question Booklets are PDF Downloads only (not a hardcopy).
