LANTITE Numeracy Preparation · Australia
You're a great teacher.
Don't let one maths test stop you.
If your focus is primary school, English, humanities, or the arts: the LANTITE numeracy test is still a mandatory hurdle. It's completely fixable. Start with a free 13-question non-calc test to find out exactly where you stand.

How it works
Two steps to get started
Take the LANTITE diagnostic
A 13-question diagnostic modelled on Section 2 of the LANTITE (non-calculator). You'll see exactly which topic areas are costing you marks: fractions, percentages, graphs, or measurement.

- Band 2 or above required to pass
- Unlimited attempts available
Content strand breakdown
Source: ACER Skills and Content Guide. Proportions vary between test windows.
Non-calculator section: 13 questions: no calculator allowed. This is where most students lose the most marks. Our tests prepare you for both sections.
From the guide
Three things to know about the test
Three previews from the LANTITE Numeracy Test Guide. Full details, sub-topics and ACER-sourced band descriptors in the guide.
Topic weighting
Three topic areas. Know the weighting.
- Number & Algebra
- 40–50% · 26–33 questions
- Statistics & Probability
- 25–35% · 16–23 questions
- Measurement & Geometry
- 20–30% · 13–20 questions
Numeracy processes
Three process domains.
- Identifying
- 25–35% of questions
- Applying
- 30–40% of questions
- Interpreting
- 25–35% of questions
Score bands
Three bands. Band 2 or above to pass.
- Band 1
- Below the test standard
- Band 2 · Required to pass
- At and above the test standard
- Band 3
- Clearly above the test standard
On-screen calculator
It follows BODMAS. Most students don't know this.
- Order of operations
- BODMAS — not left-to-right like a pocket calculator
- Buttons available
- + − × ÷ · ( ) · % · x² · √ · Ans · Memory
- ACER recommendation
- Practise with it before the test

About
Why this exists
I'm a mathematician and educator with over a decade of experience: from primary numeracy through to VCE and SACE Specialist Mathematics and Physics. Before teaching, I worked as an engineer.
Some of the most rewarding work has been with students who were significantly behind through no fault of their own: gaps caused by circumstance, not ability. Getting the fundamentals right, and rebuilding confidence alongside them, makes a real difference.
A family member failed the LANTITE three times before we worked through it together. She's now happily employed as a primary teacher.
That's why this exists.
Sitting the LANTITE literacy component too?
LANTITE is two tests: numeracy and literacy. Our sibling site has full-length literacy practice papers with worked explanations and Sage AI coaching, free in early access.
