Typically, roll 1D20 under your attribute to succeed, with a natch 20 always failing. It's the one place I endorse a reverse scale (lower = better)
PFRPG predominantly deals in skills with percentages, or in definite bonuses/penalties, but this will cover those situations where skills just don't fit the bill.

Re: Stat Checks
I just have them roll a D20 under the stat with a modifier for how difficult the task is.

Re: Stat Checks
have them roll a D30.... under their stat score being the target number.

Re: Stat Checks
Stat x 5% +/- bonuses and penalties
IQ-can use for memory
PS-not realy a check it tells you waht you can lift and what you can't
ME-You COULD use this as a defacto willpower
MA-done for you
PE-again willpower, however I combine ME+PE+Spirit / 3x5% for a well rounded Willpower check
PB-again, done for you
Spd-done for you

Re: Stat Checks
Spirit=my answer to to my position that potential magic energy and magical talent rest on how long you can run (ie PE)
I also have my mages use Mana instead of Potential Psychic Energy becuase that to is somewhat stupid
I use to use Inner Strength Points for Magic bt I like Mana better
I now use Potential PSYCHIC energy for PSYCHICS

Re: Stat Checks
we roll D20 for all but Speed
as well as D100 in substitution for some skills a character hasnt but still should get a chance.

I have them roll it or under it on a d30. A 1 means they did what ever perfectly or with such amazing accuracy.

Re: Stat Checks
I never thought that rolling under made any sense.
I prefer the d20, roll high and use the appropriate attribute.
I don't have my notes but it's like this or close to it:
Roll d20, add attribute modifier (use P.S. table for any physical and ME for mental- i think), or use this table:
Attribute bonus to roll
1-5 -2
6-9 -1
10-13 0
14-16 +1
17-19 +2
20-23 +3
24-27 +4
28-33 +5
Very Easy 1-4
Easy 5-9
Moderate 10-14
Difficult 15-20
Very Difficult 21-26
Hard 27-33
Very Hard 34-39
Extremely
Hard 40-50
(lousy formatting!)

Then you are like unto a god, and should be damn good at things involving that stat, anyway.
