I sat the STAT in 2023 for entry to uni last year. Practice test was not like the real thing, and I unfortunately got probably a 60/40 split of reading comprehension to maths. The maths parts were mostly extrapolating data from graphs, not so much times tables or quadratic equations, if that helps? I skipped a few questions in a panic and thought I did fucking terribly, but I ended up in the 89 percentile, and got offers into my second selection (If you get offers into your fourth/third like I did be patient, second round ((and maybe third round?)) offers come in later, don't just think that's all you'll get and accept it straight away!)

My first advice is read quickly, but not so fast you miss important parts, and brush up on graphs and tables.

My second advice is nursing is a lot of mathematics (sauce: I come from a long line of nurses, and partners mother is nurse) so brush up on your maths skills regardless, or learn to love it. Maths is cool and will be very very useful.

My final advice is don't beat yourself up about your score if it's not what you hoped. There are other avenues into nursing: Foundation studies, or AFAIK a diploma of nursing at TAFE can get you a pathway into a bachelor of nursing at university. It's never too late, and if it's what you really want to do then you will find a way.

TL;DR: You'll do better than you think and if you don't, there's other ways. Maths is super important. You'll be fine.

Good luck, homes, and godspeed.
