When is the ASET held?

ASET runs once per year, typically in March, with applications opening earlier via the WA GATE portal. Confirm your intake year and centre, and start timed trials at least six weeks out.

No. RubricMark runs original four-section timed trials aligned to WA Department specifications, with feedback on the handwritten writing task after you attempt it. Use it for pacing alongside the official GATE information.
