After UAC receives your STAT registration and payment, you will receive a STAT confirmation specifying the date, time and venue of your registered test/s and a STAT Candidate Information Booklet. If any of your details contained in the confirmation are incorrect, write to the Senior Admissions Test Officer immediately.
If you do not receive your STAT confirmation package at least five working days before your registered test date, call UAC immediately on (02) 9752 0200.
Required test items
You must bring the following items with you to your registered test session/s:
- your UAC STAT confirmation
- one form of a current photographic identification, such as an Australian driver’s licence, passport, NSW Photo Card, workplace photographic identification card, or a statutory declaration together with a photo that has been signed on the back by the witness to the statutory declaration. Your identification must contain your name, date of birth, signature and a recent photograph (embedded in the card not laminated, and must be a recognisable likeness of you at the time of sitting the test – a group photograph or a childhood photograph in a passport is not acceptable).
- pencils (B,2B or HB), an eraser and sharpener for the STAT Multiple Choice
- pencils (B, 2B or HB) and black or blue ballpoint pens for the STAT Written English.
No other equipment is allowed in the tests. You must present current photographic identification as specified above to be allowed entry to the test/s.
Preparation for STAT
The STAT Candidate Information Booklet, which you receive from UAC when you register for STAT, can also be downloaded from ACER’s website. The STAT Sample Collection of Questions can be purchased from ACER.
You may wish to prepare for STAT by participating in one of the STAT preparation workshops. These workshops are run by Worker's Educational Association (WEA) Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra, The Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Continuing Education in the ACT, TAFE NSW Illawara Institute in Shellharbour and TAFE NSW Riverina Institute in Wagga Wagga. Refer to STAT preparation workshops for more information.
Changing your registration details
If you have submitted your STAT registration to UAC and now wish to add or change your test date, venue or test, call UAC on (02) 9752 0200 to check whether there are vacancies for the test at the venue you are considering and to confirm the costs involved in changing your registration. Changes to initial registrations are not guaranteed and are subject to availability.
Submit a written request to the Senior Admissions Test Officer with a cheque or money order (payable to UAC Pty Ltd) for $47 to cover the change of registration fee and other costs associated with changing your test session/s.
Do not submit another STAT registration.
Your written request and payment must be received at UAC by the test registration closing date. Written requests received without the correct payment cannot be processed. If your request is approved, you will be issued with a new STAT confirmation which you must bring with you to your new test session/s.
If you change your postal address, write to the Senior Admissions Test Officer immediately to ensure you receive all correspondence from UAC regarding your STAT. You cannot change your address by telephone or email.
If you are ill during the test/s
If you are ill during the test/s and you believe that your test performance has been adversely affected, you may be able to apply for special consideration at the institution/s to which you are applying. For information about submitting a special consideration request, contact the admissions office at the relevant institution/s. You may need to provide medical evidence to support your request. Do not submit medical evidence to UAC.
If you do not attend the test/s
If you do not attend your registered test session/s due to personal illness or an emergency and you can provide a medical certificate and/or other supporting documents, you can request to change your test session/s to a later session without paying a change of registration fee. Write to the Senior Admissions Test Officer immediately with your supporting documents attached.
If you cannot provide any supporting documents or your absence was for other reasons, and you still wish to sit STAT, you will have to change your registration and pay the relevant change of registration fee. STAT registration fees already paid are not refundable under any circumstances.
Refer to STAT venues and session codes for further test sessions.
