Special Entry & STAT

This course is a series of three 3 hour workshops specifically designed for people applying for special entry into tertiary institutions.

Participants will acquire strategies which will assist them with preparing for, and undertaking the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT).

You will learn how to, and actually prepare a Personal Competency Statement for submission to SATAC, which can assist with your application for many courses open to special entry.

The course will involve a high degree of interaction and brainstorming amongst participants, as well as with the course presenter.

In this course students will:

Learn about the STAT (Special Tertiary Admission Test), and gain an understanding on how the STAT is a means of entry into tertiary institutions

Be assisted with preparation to complete the STAT to the best of their ability

Prepare a draft Personal Competency Statement, and be offered an insight into SATAC’s evaluation criteria

Receive tips and strategies for sitting the STAT test, and examinations in general

Obtain a broad understanding of SATAC’s admissions processes for both University and TAFE entry in South Australia

Important Note - Special Entry into South Australian Universities is only open to persons aged 18 and over.

Different conditions apply to South Australian TAFE Institutions, and interstate Universities. You are advised to check eligibility conditions for the institution(s) to which you are applying.

A representative from the University of Adelaide’s Prospective Students Office will be attending one of the sessions to answer participants’ queries, relating to study at the University.
