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.
