What is STAT?
STAT is a series of tests designed to assess a range of competencies considered important for success in tertiary study. It assesses your ability to think critically and analyse the material given, rather than testing your knowledge of specific academic subjects.
STAT is used by many tertiary institutions in Australia as part of their admissions procedure for certain categories of applicants. It is used 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.
Sitting STAT through UAC
To sit STAT in NSW or the ACT, register through UAC. If you wish to sit STAT interstate or overseas,you can go through interstate and overseas STAT sittings.
You cannot register through UAC.
UAC administers two STAT versions – Multiple Choice and Written English.
STAT Multiple Choice is a two-hour test with 10 minutes reading time. It consists of 70 questions – half verbal and half quantitative. Verbal questions require you to interpret and understand ideas in language. Quantitative questions require you to comprehend and apply information presented in scientific and mathematical contexts.
STAT Written English is a one-hour test with five-minutes reading time. You need to produce two pieces of writing in response to two different themes. Four prompts are given for each theme from which you must choose one. The test assesses your ability to communicate effectively in writing.
To find out whether STAT can be used for admission to the course you are considering and which STAT versions you are required to sit, refer to institutions that accept STAT or contact the admissions office at the relevant institution. UAC can't advise you on whether or not to sit STAT.
Restrictions on sitting STAT
You can sit the STAT Multiple Choice and the STAT Written English only once in the STAT testing year, which is from 15 April 2015 to 14 April 2016. For example, if you sit the STAT Multiple Choice on Saturday 30 May 2015, you cannot sit the STAT Multiple Choice again until the next test available after 14 April 2016.
If you register to sit the STAT Multiple Choice or STAT Written English more than once in the STAT testing year (15 April 2015 to 14 April 2016), your registration will be cancelled and you will not be entitled to a refund.
STAT registration fees are not refundable under any circumstances except as required by law and cannot be transferred from one STAT testing year (15 April to 14 April) to another.
Note that you're eligible to register for STAT from April 2015 and sit the next available test after 15 April 2015 regardless of whether or not you've previously sat STAT.
Institutions that accept STAT for mid-year admissions
Note that STAT is no longer a requirement for B Veterinary Biology/Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sydney.
If you've sat STAT more than once, within the restrictions outlined above, contact the admissions office at the relevant institution to check which STAT result will be used in the assessment of your application.
If you apply through UAC for tertiary study, you must include details of all your STAT sittings in your application. If you apply directly to a NSW or ACT institution or to an interstate institution, you must advise the admissions centre or institution that you have sat STAT in NSW or the ACT.

If you wish to sit STAT overseas, visit the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and register online. You cannot register with UAC.
