Australian Core Skills Framework
Free ACSF Level 4 Practice Test
ACSF Level 4 is the advanced-performance level of the Australian Core Skills Framework: complex, multi-step numeracy and literacy across familiar and unfamiliar contexts. It is the standard higher-level entry tests draw on, including a large share of the LANTITE (the teaching profession's literacy and numeracy test).
What ACSF Level 4 means
- At Level 4 you can work with ratios, compound percentages, algebraic reasoning, statistical interpretation and multi-step problems where the method is not given.
- You can synthesise information across several sources: a chart plus a table plus a paragraph, with distractor information present.
- Contexts can be unfamiliar and abstract, and answers often need justification or checking against the situation.
Who is assessed at Level 4?
The ACSF describes five levels across five core skills (learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy). This page focuses on numeracy; our sister site covers the reading and writing strands.

What is ACSF Level 4?
Level 4 of the Australian Core Skills Framework describes advanced everyday numeracy and literacy: multi-step problems, ratio and algebraic reasoning, statistical interpretation, and synthesising information across sources, including unfamiliar contexts.
Does LANTITE use ACSF Level 4?
LANTITE draws on ACSF Levels 2 to 5, with a large share of its questions at Level 4. If you are preparing for LANTITE, the full practice papers on this site mirror that distribution.
Should Level 3 candidates practise at Level 4?
Yes, deliberately. Training a level above your target standard makes the real test feel easier. Police and FRV candidates who are comfortable at Level 4 rarely struggle at exit Level 3.
