What is STAT
The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is designed to assess
competencies commonly considered important for success in tertiary
study. Anyone who is 20 years* of age before 1 March in the year in
which they wish to commence studies is eligible. The STAT provides
an avenue of entry to a tertiary institution for those who do not
have the formal entry requirements. It is available all over Western
Australia.
*An age restriction does not apply for entry to TAFEWA.
There are two
sections:
STAT Multiple Choice:
An aptitude test that assesses both verbal
and quantitative skills. It is a 2 hour test
with 70 multiple choice questions, half of
which are Humanities and Social Sciences
based, and the other half are Mathematics
and Science based.
Written English:
A one hour test in which the candidate is
asked to write short essays on two different
topics: Part A is a public affairs issue
that invites argument, while Part B asks for
a more personal point of view. Each section
gives a choice of four topics.
