Free LANTITE practice test See where you stand
A free LANTITE practice test, pitched at real test difficulty, that scores you and shows where your gaps actually are. Sit literacy, numeracy or both, and get a domain-by-domain profile with a study plan at the end.
Build your diagnostic
Sit one component at a time. You can come back and sit the other later, and your profile will fill in.
What you'll get
- A profile of your strengths and risk areas by domain
- A recommended study sequence, so you know what to fix first
- Links to the right prep guide for each weak area
What it isn't
- It is not an ACER practice test or official material
- It does not predict whether you'll pass or fail
- It's an indicator, based on a sample of each domain
What this practice test covers
LANTITE has two components, literacy and numeracy, and they are marked independently. Passing one does not carry the other, and it is common to pass one and not the other in the same sitting. This practice test follows the same split, so you get a separate read on each rather than a single blended score that hides which half is the problem.
Within each component the questions are spread across the skill areas the real test draws on, so the result tells you more than a mark. Reading comprehension and technical writing on the literacy side; number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability on the numeracy side. A single percentage would tell you that you are weak. A profile tells you that you are weak at proportional reasoning specifically, which is the thing you can act on.
You choose the length. Ten questions per section is a quick read, twenty is the usual choice, and thirty gives the most detail. Longer is more reliable, for the ordinary reason that a small sample of any skill is a noisy measure of it.
How to read your result
Treat the score as a starting position, not a prediction. There is no published LANTITE pass mark to compare it against: ACER sets the standard at achievement broadly equivalent to the top 30 per cent of the Australian adult population, and the number of correct answers that represents varies between test forms. Any site that offers to tell you your odds of passing is inventing them.
What the result is good for is deciding what to do next, and whether to sit the real test in the next window or the one after. That decision is worth making early, because registration closes about three weeks before a window opens and the fee is payable again on a resit.
After the diagnostic
The results page builds a study sequence and links each weak area to the guide that covers it. If you would rather work through questions straight away, the free practice questions are grouped by the same skill areas the diagnostic reports against, so you can go directly to the one it flagged.

- Free literacy practice questions · reading and technical writing
- What LANTITE is and when you have to pass it · the full guide
- Test dates and registration deadlines · the four windows, and the refund cliff
Common questions
Is there a free LANTITE practice test?
Yes. This one is free, needs no account to start, and scores you across both components. It is written by Teacher Passport at LANTITE difficulty, and it is not ACER material.
How long does the LANTITE practice test take?
About fifteen minutes for the 20-question option. You choose 10, 20 or 30 questions per section, so a quick read on one component takes under ten minutes.
Does this predict whether I will pass LANTITE?
No, and be wary of anything that claims to. There is no published pass mark: the standard is achievement broadly equivalent to the top 30 per cent of the adult population, and the number of correct answers needed varies between test forms.
Do I need an account to take it?
Not to start. You create a free account at the end to see your full results and study plan, which is also what saves them so you can compare a later attempt.
Can I sit just literacy or just numeracy?
Yes. Sit one component now and the other later; your profile fills in as you go. Most people start with the component they are more worried about.
What is the difference between this and the practice questions?
The diagnostic scores you and builds a study plan, so it answers where you stand. The practice questions are individual items with worked solutions, grouped by skill, for working on a weakness once you know what it is.
