STAT is conducted across multiple test windows each year.
All STAT sessions (excluding metro Perth test takers) are conducted online via remote proctoring. You'll need a private room at home and your own computer with a microphone and webcam. If you're not able to meet these requirements or have any questions about remote proctoring, please email stat@acer.org so we can assist you, if possible.
Each STAT window runs for approximately 5 days, including the weekend.
After you have paid your registration fee, you will be able to select a test session date and time with ProctorU (within the test window). Book early to get the session time that best suits you.
