Special Tertiary Admissions Test
Introduction
The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is an alternative tertiary admissions test for those candidates who do not have a recent Year 12 certificate. It is also used by some specialist courses as a further entry selection criterion. The multiple-choice tests have 70 items. There is also a one-hour Written English test. Scores are reported on a STAT scale from 100-200.
STAT forms are constructed so that scores can be accurately compared across the series and over time. STAT is administered through the tertiary admissions centres in each State. ACER also deals directly with some participating institutions.
