All about STAT please !!! (1 Viewer)

Hi BOSers, I am interested in doing pharmacy and is wondering if I need to sit STAT? What happen if I don't sit the test this year and get the required ATAR? Can I still do pharmacy?

How hard is the test and where can I find practice papers? Thanks for any advice

Yes, you should sit STAT.
There are like 5 times you can sit the STAT per year.

You'll be fine.

But when I get my ATAR back, and apply for uni and I can't sit STAT till April, will they still accept me?

 

[Riproot]

No they won't.

You need to sit STAT before you get your ATAR back.

I recommend doing it before you get your ATAR and when it's closest to where you live.

Do I need to sit the English writing test as well or just the multiple choice test? And how hard are they?

Do you know where I can get some samples from ? Thanks in advance

I have no idea.
STAT is a decent test but compared to other tests like UMAT it is cakewalk.

Just google it.

I think there are past papers on the ACER website.

That's alright.

What uni do you wanna do pharmacy at? I'll look up stuff for you if you want. (I'm procrastinating assignments. )

umm, I'm not sure yet but thinking of going to Brisbane actually Probably UQ

 

[Riproot]

Jesus!

What about Griffith? (I've only heard good things about UQ but you should look at other places too)

 

[asari]

QUT or UQ are the 2 that I'm looking at at the moment

Sit it this year, you can only do the STAT every 6 months and you need it before you get accepted into pharmacy

Not sure if this was a mistake or not, but a mate of mine got an ATAR of ~86 and he got offered pharmacy at UQ which had a cutoff of 92 this year. Just thought you might want to know.

But did he sit STAT?

Dont think UQ requires STAT, cause he didn't do it and got the offer.
