STAT
Hi, i'm currently doing year 12 and am interested in doing a pharmacy course at university, but i don't know whether i need to do the STAT test and when it needs to be done by, does anyone have any ideas? I think that it may be required for the sydney university, but i'm not sure if you need it to get into charles sturt uni. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

I am actually in first year pharmacy at Sydney University at the moment, and to get into sydney i needed to get a mark of (I think) above 149/200 in the STAT test, together with a set UAI mark. As for other universities, I am not too sure, however i do know that the university at Wagga did not need to have the STAT test to enter the pharmacy course. 
Oh hey cool... Can I throw some random questions at you ?
Do you like it ?
What bits suck ?
How many hours per week ?
How hard is the maths you have to do ?
I wanted to do that email a student thing that they have a glossy brochure for...but then they didn't have a pharmacy student. :mad1:

pharmacy
At the moment it is so-so as we are covering a lot of the work that we did in the HSC, but in the next few semesters we will cover a lot more work specific to pharmacy as opposed to, say, unrelated biology/chemistry.
For this term i have 24 hours of class a week, which is divided into lectures and tutorials. Most of the lecture info can be found at the USYD website, so if you miss a few it is not that important. Tutorials however are more important as you have to attend, i think 90%.
I have 5 subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Introduction to Psychology, Maths (Calculus) and pharmacy in society, but only the first four subjects have exams.
So far it is actually really easy. We have only had a few assignments as most of our assessment mark comes from the main exam.
As far as maths is concerned, this semester it is mainly calculus, so expect a fair bit of integration and harder differentiation. If you do 2-unit maths advanced, then you should be fine. Most of the people in our course, regardless of whether they did maths at school, are still easily passing, and all you need is a mark of 46/100 to pass anyway.

chrisso23 - I missed it when you posted, so delayed reaction, but ta for replying You make it sound really good....argh another thing on the list of stuff I like the sound of
chels - I sat it lat month, and I didn't find it hard (I haven't got my result yet though).
I ended up leaving 40mins before it was due to end, because I had finished and had checked the questions I found hard.
The information is all there, you just have to interpret it. Some of its challenging, but its all there. It was half-half englishy (readings) stuff and interpret-y graph stuff.
You can sit it twice a year - at the mid-year and/or the end year. The exams are same level of difficulty etc, but are different actual exams - how easy would it be for people to go cheat if they weren't.
