Free diagnostic · 20 questions · ~15 min

See exactly where you stand before you register

A free 20-question self-check that maps your strengths and risk areas across the five LANTITE domains, then points you to the right prep. It is not an ACER test and does not predict pass or fail. It simply tells you what to focus on first.

2. Official ACER practice materials

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.
