Special Tertiary Admissions Test Pathway

The Special Tertiary Admissions Test is a national test that provides a pathway to tertiary study for those who do not have the formal entry requirements.

How it works

The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a national test designed to assess aptitude for undertaking an undergraduate degree. If you do not meet the minimum entry requirements for UWA, and you feel confident in your ability to succeed in an undergraduate degree, then you may wish to consider taking this test.

The STAT is comprised of two sections:

STAT Multiple Choice

An aptitude test that assesses both verbal and quantitative skills.

Written English

A written test that requires the candidate to write two short essays on two different topics. Prepare for the Written English component of the STAT test here.

Eligibility

If you're a domestic mature-aged student (aged 20 years or older on 1 March, for Semester 1 entry, or 1 August for Semester 2 entry), you can use the STAT to meet admission requirements for undergraduate courses which require UWA’s minimum entry requirements.

If you are not mature-aged, you can request permission to sit the STAT by emailing UWA Admissions at [email protected]. Please provide your UWA student number within your email (you will receive a UWA student number once you submit an application to commence at the University).

Determine your eligibility for UWA's range of courses by entering your results into the STAT Calculator.
