STAT format: Multiple Choice and Written English
Understand the available STAT components and confirm which one your institution requires.
Confirm the component you need
ACER administers STAT, while participating institutions decide how results are used. Depending on your application, you may need STAT Multiple Choice, STAT Written English or both. Check the institution and current ACER information before buying practice or booking.
Understand the different performances
- Multiple Choice: reasoning with humanities, social science, quantitative and scientific material.
- Written English: producing two sustained pieces from supplied prompts under timed conditions.
Create a valid baseline
- Use current official format and timing information.
- Attempt representative work without assistance.
- Classify errors by reasoning or writing process.
- Plan practice for the component actually required.
Try the questions before reviewing the answers
Attempt before reading a model. Diagnose the exact reasoning or writing decision, make one repair and test it on unseen material.
