FLINDERS UNIVERSITY (SOUTH AUSTRALIA)- UNITEST
Flinders University is offering uniTEST as an entry pathway for 2021.
UniTEST is an aptitude test that has been developed to assess the kinds of generic reasoning and thinking skills that underpin studies at higher education and that are needed for students to be successful at this level. UniTEST is offered to students at no cost and they cannot be disadvantaged by participating.
Flinders University will select applicants based on both their Year 12 results (60% weighting toward the ATAR selection rank) and uniTEST results (40%). NEW for 2021- Flinders will also consider applicants based on their uniTEST results (100%) as a standalone entry score (subject to SACE completion and any course prerequisites or specific admissions requirements).
Since 2014 over 1,000 students have received an offer to their preferred course at Flinders University based on their uniTEST results. This includes popular courses such as Law, Psychology, Medical Science, Nutrition & Dietetics, Paramedic Science, and Speech Pathology.
You must register with Mrs Hill as the test will take place here at St. John's. If you are considering Flinders University please let Mrs Hill know as soon as possible.
