Monash Teaching Suitability Test (MTeST)

Late last term, Monash University launched a newnon-academic test designed to assess teacher suitability. The Monash Teaching Suitability Test (MTeST) is designed for entry into Monash Initial Teacher Education courses only and cannot be used to apply for other institutions. Importantly, this is a free alternative to Casper.

Students do not need to book in for the test. It will be held every Tuesday from 10.00am – 10.00pm online and only takes 15 minutes.

VTAC applicants are advised to complete either the MTeST or Casper by the following dates:

November 12, 2023 – December 2023 Round 1 (only current Year 12 domestic and current Year 12 International students)
December 5, 2023 – January 2024 Rounds 1, 2 domestic students and January Rounds 1,2,3,4 International students
January 10, 2024 – February 2024 Round 1 domestic students, January Round 5 International students
January 21, 2024 – February 2024 Rounds 2,3 Domestic students

For applicants who sat both tests, Monash will use the better result of the two.

Pathway through Science to Medicine

Students often ask if they can study a Bachelor of Science to enter graduate medicine, and the answer is YES! Students who complete the Bachelor of Science* at Monash University with the required prerequisite units and achieve a minimum 70+ WAM (Weighted Average Mark), may be offered the opportunity to undertake an interview (Multiple Mini Interview - MMI) and Situational Judgement Test (SJT) as part of the application process. There is no requirement for Monash Science students to undertake the GAMSAT as entry is an internal process. Students keen on studying science as a pathway, are encouraged to browse this useful link - Science as a Pathway to Medicine.

*Can also include Science double degrees, the Bachelor of Science Advanced Research and Bachelor of Science Advanced - Global Challenges
