Thankyou Trillian and Misty. Unfortuntely the closest place for me to do the STAT is a 6 hour round trip and my DD is BF so I would have to take her for the trip and get someone to mind her while I sit the test and the applications close today (there is another one but it is on the closing date for applications).

I didn't even realise you could do a pathways course. I had been looking at doing my study through a different uni and changed my mind at the last minute as UNE offered much better services (relevent to me). Oh well, I will wait and see how my application goes I suppose, any ideas where I can find the offer dates? I know applications close on November 28th, so after that I suppose.

Thanks again for all of your help Trillian.
