uniTEST

If you’re in Year 12, uniTEST is available to enhance your chances of getting into Flinders.

We will select students based on their Year 12 results (60% weighting toward the ATAR selection rank) and uniTEST results (40%). Flinders will also consider applicants based on their uniTEST results (100%) as a standalone entry score (subject to SACE completion and any course pre-requisites or specific admissions requirements). If you take the test and don’t do so well, don’t worry, we will only consider your highest selection rank.

Does uniTEST apply to your preferred course?

uniTEST results can be used for entry to all undergraduate Flinders courses except the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences/Doctor of Medicine. Note: you still need to apply for your course via SATAC.

Are you eligible?

uniTEST is open to any current Year 12 student who will complete an Australian Year 12 qualification this year. This includes international onshore Year 12 students.

When you will get your results

You will receive your results from ACER in early to mid-December, around the same time as Year 12 results are released. You are able to use your uniTEST results for two years after sitting the test. If you’re unsure whether your previous uniTEST results apply for admission, please contact us.

After you get your results you don’t need to do anything. We will calculate and use your combined score. If your performance enhances your entry application, your offer for Flinders will come via SATAC.

About your results

You will receive a scale score out of 100 for each of the 3 sections in the test and a total scale score. Scores are scaled to take into consideration year-to-year differences in test difficulty. You will also get a percentile rank score that indicates how you performed against all other uniTEST candidates who sat the test in the same year.
