LANTITE 2026: Test Dates, Registration & Prep
The Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education, demystified: the four 2026 test windows and their strict registration deadlines, a calendar you can add to your own, the official ACER practice materials, and free guides for each component.

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.

3. LANTITE prep guides
In-depth, plain-language guides for each component and situation: what each part tests, how to prepare, resits, deadlines, special provisions, and the NSW accreditation change.
LANTITE: what it is, when to pass, and how to prepare
The national literacy and numeracy test every teaching student must pass: the two components, the top-30% standard, 2026 fees and windows, when you must pass, and how to prepare.
LANTITE Numeracy: What to Expect and How to Prepare
LANTITE numeracy explained: 65 questions, the calculator and no-calculator sections, the three ACER content domains, and a realistic prep plan.
LANTITE Literacy: Reading and Technical Writing
The LANTITE literacy component explained: reading comprehension, technical writing, how each is marked, the first-attempt pass rate, and how to prepare.
Failed LANTITE: How to Read Your Results and Plan Your Resit
Failed LANTITE? How to read your feedback statement, re-register the failed component, the 2026 fee and windows, resit limits, and target weak domains.
LANTITE for Career Changers: MTeach Prep Guide
Passing LANTITE as a career changer: why it is rust, not difficulty, when in your MTeach you must pass, and a six-week prep plan.
LANTITE Reasonable Adjustments: How to Apply
How ITE students with disability apply for LANTITE extra time, separate rooms and other adjustments: the evidence, the deadline, and the review process.
When to Pass LANTITE: Deadlines by Degree & University
When to sit LANTITE: the year-1 attempt rule, the pass-before-placement gate by university, and the NSW 1 August 2026 accreditation change.
LANTITE for International and EAL/D Students
International and EAL/D students must sit LANTITE too. There is no language concession or extra time, and a strong IELTS does not guarantee a pass.
LANTITE and NSW Teacher Accreditation: What You Need to Know
Do you need LANTITE to teach in NSW? How it gates Conditional, Provisional and Proficient accreditation, plus the 1 August 2026 NESA rule.
LANTITE test dates and registration deadlines
Four test windows a year, and registration for each closes about three weeks before it opens. The current windows, the 2026 fee, and the refund deadline that falls at the same moment as the registration one.
LANTITE results: when they arrive and what they mean
Results are released by week, roughly four to six weeks after you sit, and cannot be brought forward. What the statement tells you, why passes never expire, and what a failed component actually costs.
