Some definitions here:
STAT- this is a test which has more than one component, it can be used by mature aged students for entry into uni and is also used by school leavers as *additional* criteria for entrance to certain courses such as pharmacy in the same way that UMAT is used for medicine.
RET - this is an entry scheme by UWS, which utilises the STAT results and turns them into a ranking.
hope that clears everything up:)

Yeah, when I got the reg. form and so forth in the mail, I got a bit confused.
Went and saw my careers advisor today, she said that yeah others uni's such as USYD etc have ones for pharmaceutical studies etc.

But I totally agree with the price of $130 being a bit too much. I bet as each year pasts, the price will get gradually get higher...they know desperate hsc students will pay it...:(

if you take the RET test and get accepted into UWS can you transfer from UWS to other uni's like UTS, USYD, UNSW?
Ofcourse you can. The uni doesn't hold you in there against your own will :p

And $130 isn't that much, especially if the RET test is the thing that can possibly get you into uni.

Plus, I'm sure that $130 goes to good use, ie: students that are already there :p

small price to pay if you get into the course you want...and is considerably less than paying full-fee
Thats true Melsc. It could be the last chance that you have for first semester to get into the course you want. If you don't get into the course, you possibly have to do a semester or a year and transfer, which in turn would be more expensive.

I'd do it if I was in area...because as you said it would be cheaper than me having to transfer after a year

Ah Melsc, your stressing about nothing again. Cause you want to combine law with something else, its good that you can go and apply for the half of the degree which isn't law, and you will become exempt from those subjects when you transfer to the combined law degree (if you don't make the combined law degree first).
