Registration
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.

Dates
STAT test windows run throughout the year. Each STAT test window runs for 3-5 days. All STAT dates are listed on the Home page, visit the "See all important STAT dates" for more information.
Candidates must create an ACER account, log into your account to select and register for your STAT test. Once you have paid the STAT test fee, candidates select and schedule the test session date and time with ProctorU (within the test window). Book in early to get the session time that suits you.
Registering on time
ProctorU test session scheduling must be made 72 hours before the close of the test window, so book as soon as possible to get a session time that suits you or you will be charged a premium scheduling fee of $12USD by ProctorU.
