STAT Test Information

The next STAT will be held at Bega Education Centre in May 2009.

What is STAT?

The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a series of related tests designed to assess a range of competencies commonly considered important for success in tertiary study. STAT assesses your ability to understand the material given and to think critically about issues, rather than to test knowledge of curriculum or a specific academic subject. Many tertiary institutions in Australia use STAT as part of their admissions procedure for certain categories of applicants, in addition to any other information available, when assessing your application for admission. If you have no formal qualifications on which to base your application to a tertiary institution, you may be eligible to be considered for entry to a course by sitting STAT. STAT results will be taken into consideration when applying for UOW Bega Education Centre courses.

The current registration fee for the STAT multiple choice at Bega is $110.

The above fee includes:
-Supply of written test materials
-a STAT Candidate Information Booklet,
-a STAT Sample Collection of Questions Volume 1,
-a STAT result notice and arranging the test

Australia Post over the counter payment

Take page 2 of your STAT registration to any post office in Australia and make your payment by cash, cheque or EFTPOS over the counter.

Step 3 Submit your STAT registration to UAC by mail or in person.

Submit page 1 of your completed STAT registration to UAC by mail. The UAC postal and street addresses are shown on the STAT registration.  Your registration cannot be considered if you do not pay the STAT fee. Your STAT registration must be received at UAC by the test registration closing date. UAC does not accept facsimiled, photocopied or previous years' forms. All test sessions have a restricted number of places available so we advise you to register early. By registering early, you will also ensure that you receive your STAT confirmation letter and sample questions in time to prepare for the test/s.
