ACER provides the only official practice materials, and they are free. The online interactive practice tests mirror the real test interface but only become available in your ACER candidate account once you have registered for the test. The downloadable practice tests, worked solutions and equivalence tables below are open to everyone, so you can start preparing before you register.
