STAT and SAT Tests

The University of Tasmania rarely requires an applicant to sit this test to gain entry. If you are in doubt please contact the Admissions Office on 1300 361 928 or by email Admissions@utas.edu.au before arranging to sit a test.

The STAT, written and assessed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) (http://www.acer.edu.au/stat/index.html), is administered for Tasmanian residents by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). Testing sessions are usually held in Hobart during October and December each year. Other organisations which conduct STAT tests are listed on the ACER website.

Full details of STAT including dates, venues for testing sessions and registration fees, together with a copy of the VTAC application form which incorporates STAT registration, are in the VTAC Guide 2009. This is available from all major newsagents for $12.95 (inc.GST) or can be accessed on the VTAC website free of charge. If you need to discuss your requirements contact STAT Co-ordinator, VTAC, 40 Park Street, South Melbourne, Vic 3205. Ph 1300 364 133 or email stat@vtac.edu.au.
