FLINDERS uniTEST
The Flinders University will once again be offering uniTEST to Year 12 students as an entry pathway for 2025. 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 cannot be disadvantaged by participating.
SELECTION PROCESS
Flinders University will select applicants based on both their Year 12 results (60% weighting toward the ATAR selection rank) and uniTEST results (40%). Flinders will also consider applicants based on their uniTEST results (100%) as a standalone entry score (subject to SACE completion and any course pre-requisites or specific admissions requirements).
DELIVERY MODE
Your school will be able to administer the online delivery of uniTEST, which will need to be done under examination conditions, on Thursday, September 26, 9.00am – 12.00pm. The test itself will take a maximum of 2.5 hours, however, 3.5 hours should be allowed to include administration.
If you intend to apply for Flinders University in South Australia and wish to sit the Flinders uniTEST, please complete this Google document by Monday, September 16 so logins can be arranged for you to sit the test.

It provides students with the valuable opportunity to:
- Develop employability skills.
- Explore possible career options.
- Understand employer expectations.
- Increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence, and self-confidence.
