Here is some onfo on the STAT from some websites I have saved in my favourites:

STAT is the Special Tertiary Admissions Test that allows people who did not complete Year 12, or performed poorly in that exam or other studies, to sit a special exam and still qualify for admission.

STAT Multiple Choice
Is a two hour test with ten minutes reading time consisting of seventy multiple choice questions.
Is a combination of verbal and quantitative questions.

Candidates are required to read and interpret graphical displays of information and passages of writing, to use mathematical relationships and to apply reasoning to tables of data.

STAT Written English
Is a one hour test with five minutes reading time consisting of two short essays.

Is designed to assess a candidate's ability to organise and express their thoughts in a logical and effective way.

Sample questions:
To get you started - http://www.acer.edu.au/tests/university/stat/documents/STATSampleQuestions.pdf

Just go to to google type search through Aust site type in exact

STAT AND "sample questions"

Hope this helps some.

Some regional universities also use the STAT test as additional entrance criteria.

There is something I was not aware of - re: additional enterance criteria.

I forget to mention - down here the Universities use the STAT for mature age entry too-
