Q: If I want to use my UMAT 2007 results to apply for admission, do I need to register for UMAT in 2008?

2007 scores. You will have to provide your UMAT candidate number at some stage during the application process
for university admission, either with your application to the tertiary admission centre or by sending it direct
to the university. Contact the universities concerned for further information.

A: A UMAT Statement of Results will be mailed to every candidate in late September. To protect candidate
confidentiality, results cannot be released over the phone or by facsimile or email.

A: There is no penalty for taking the test more than once BUT the universities will only use your most
recent results when considering your application. UMAT scores are valid for 2 years.

A: No. ACER will forward all UMAT results to the UMAT Consortium universities. The universities will then
match UMAT results to the applications submitted for university admission.

A: On the day of the test you will be required to show one form of photo-bearing identification. Your ID must
