I'm doing it, but on the Sunday...does that mean I get evicted from this thread now?:p
How are you all feeling about it? Because I feel weird about the STAT...it's like I'm in year 6 all over again sitting for the selective exam for highschool, a bit deja vu- ish.

the point isnt to pass, the point is to go better in this test than in your hsc, so that your stat mark is higher than ur uai and will therefore not be a waste of time and money. if your uai is below 50, well than yeah a pass in stat is good ... i guess. but what you are trying to do is kill this test

good luck to you all

this is how it works. you can get a maximum of 10 extra points. in other words, if you get 70 uai, but u score 80 in the ret/stat test, your mark becomes 80 and therefore can get into a course that needs an 80 uai. if you get a 70 uai and ur ret/stat mark is 100, you get an 80. so basically the goal is to go better in this test, so it can count.

and if, like me you get 60 something for stat and than 80 something for uai, it doenst count at all!

ill admit its been a yr since ive looked at this, but from what i can recall, this is how it works

I don't think so soha...I think you need to be sitting at least 1 HSC exam in that year if you've already finished. In addition you have to live in the required area and so forth.
EDIT: oooh teh time travel!
