Preparation for STAT
Download the ACER STAT Candidate Information Booklet free of charge. The booklet contains sample questions and information to assist you in your preparation for STAT.

You may wish to prepare for STAT by participating in a STAT preparation workshop. These workshops are run by Workers' Educational Association (WEA) Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra, The Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Continuing Education in the ACT, TAFE NSW Illawarra Institute in Shellharbour and TAFE NSW Riverina Institute in Wagga Wagga. Refer to STAT preparation workshops for information.
Required test items
You must bring the following items with you to your registered test session/s:
- your UAC STAT Admittance Notice
- 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 admitted to the test/s.
Changing your registration details
If you have submitted your STAT registration to UAC and 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 together with a cheque or money order (payable to UAC Pty Ltd) for $48 to STAT, UAC, Locked Bag 112, Silverwater NSW 2128 to cover the change of registration fee.
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 Admittance Notice which you must bring with you to your new test session/s.
If you wish to change your personal details such as your address, or to print another copy of your STAT Registration Confirmation and Admittance Notice, visit STAT Candidate Services. You will need your STAT candidate number and your STAT PIN, which is the first four digits of your date of birth. If you have queries call UAC on (02) 9752 0200.
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 if available, without paying the 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 can request to change your registration to a later test session if available and pay the relevant change of registration fee. STAT registration fees already paid are not refundable under any circumstances.
