Re: UWS RET Test!
For those considering the RET, it really is a great opportunity simply because it gives you the STAT (which is needed for Pharmacy/Veterinary at USYD + will be useful when you're a mature age student if something happens) as well as an opportunity to practically assure yourself uni entry into the majority of UWS's degrees. And when you consider that UWS has both a law school and a medicine school now, well that is a considerable opportunity indeed.
I don't think you'd be allowed to do it anyway, I think there is a 6 month waiting period before you can re-sit a STAT test.Trebla said:

Re: UWS RET Test!
Withstanding that, it really is though a great way to maximise your chances of an offer should your UAI not reach the cutoff. $135 is not much for something that could improve your chances of an offer--you've reached Year 12, and unless yuo really don't have an extra $135, you might as well make your Year 12 count for something--enabling you tertiary admission, and the greater the chance of an offer, the better.

I got this letter, then I realised I'm too smart.
And that I wouldnt pay $135 to do a masters degree at UWS

Re: UWS RET Test!
The RET which uses the STAT is for UWS only, and while there are often other flexible entry schemes at other unis there is no RET equivalent. The STAT itself can however be used for mature aged entry to most universities as well as being a criterion of entry into USyd's BPharm & BVetSci.Chubby said:

Re: UWS RET Test!
The RET test is simply a question of effort. Are you going to get above 90 UAI? If yes dont take it. If you think you might be getting around 80 UAI then take it. Law at UWS was 85 this year and med is cut off at 92. So if you want a sure entry do it.
PS I realise that neither Law nor Med are 'covered' on the RET test, its just that they are the degrees with the highest entrance mark.
