Frequently Asked Quesions
What is the ISAT?
The ISAT (International Student Admissions Test) is an admissions test commonly required for international students applying to undergraduate Medicine programmes in Australia. It is used by selected universities as part of their admissions process.
Who needs to take the ISAT?
The ISAT is intended for international students applying to undergraduate Medicine programmes at selected Australian universities. Admission requirements vary between institutions, so students should always check the requirements of their chosen universities.
Which universities require the ISAT?
The ISAT is accepted by a number of Australian universities offering undergraduate Medicine programmes. As admissions requirements may change, students should refer to the latest requirements published by their target universities.
When should I take the ISAT?
Students should plan to take the ISAT well before their university application deadlines. As ISAT results are valid for two years, taking the test early gives students sufficient time to prepare thoroughly and, if necessary, improve their score before applying to university.
How long should I prepare for the ISAT?
Preparation time varies depending on your current abilities and target score. Most students benefit from beginning their preparation several months before their test date, allowing time to build familiarity with the exam, strengthen reasoning skills, and practise consistently.
Is the ISAT difficult?
The ISAT is a challenging admissions test designed to assess the skills required for success in competitive medical programmes. Success requires strong critical thinking, effective time management, and a structured preparation strategy.
How long is my ISAT score valid?
ISAT results are valid for two years, allowing students to take the test well before their university application deadlines.
Many students choose to sit the ISAT early so they have the opportunity to improve their score if needed before submitting their applications. Planning ahead also provides greater flexibility when applying to competitive medical programmes.
Why is the ISAT important for Monash University?
Monash University requires international applicants to complete the ISAT as part of its undergraduate Medicine admissions process. Unlike many other Australian medical schools, Monash University does not accept the UCAT ANZ for international undergraduate Medicine applicants. Students intending to apply to Monash should therefore ensure they prepare for and complete the ISAT according to the university's admissions timeline.
