    It also depends on how old your results are. In WA, after a certain amount of years, you can't use your results anymore. Call TISC in your area, or check out their website. I did a mature aged entry and got a much better score than my TEE results (which I couldn't use anyway) so sometimes it's better to just bite the bullet and do the STAT test.

    Each course of study has different entry pathways too (thanks for reminding me, Kitt3n!) so it's often a good idea to figure out what you want to do, then research the alternative entry requirements of each university, eg UWA psychology only allows entry via TEE results, ie no direct entry with a STAT test. But at Curtin, Murduch and ECU, you can enter via a STAT test. At none of the unis in Perth, can you enter without either TEE, STAT or recognition of prior learning.

    Thanks for the info girls! I'm not 100% sure what I want to do yet - but I will have a good look at the courses and decide then.

    I only just scraped in with my UAI (into a Bachelor of Arts Degree) so I would probably want to take a STAT and use those results.

    Thanks heaps girls - I knew you would have the answers!

    Another question...

    The uni's I am considering are Macquarie and ANU. They both offer the course that I want. ANU would probably be easier because I am only 2 hours from Canberra but either way I would study the course by distance.

    I just looked up Macquarie's website and found this information.

    Looking at that course list, would you assume they don't offer undergraduate degrees by distance?

    Try Open Learning - different unis offer full bachelor degrees via distance.

    punkin that website is fantastic!!!!

    I've found the exact course at Macquarie!

    Ok, another Q...

    If I'm a mature age student - am I still eligible for HECS/HELP?
