The 2026 windows
| Window | Registration | Test dates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 to 20 January | 9 to 22 February |
| 2 | 31 March to 13 April | 4 to 17 May |
| 3 | 30 June to 13 July | 3 to 16 August |
| 4 | 22 September to 5 October | 26 October to 8 November |
Registration opens on the morning of the first day and closes at 5 pm Melbourne time on the last day. ACER does not accept late registrations, so if you miss a registration period you wait for the next window. If you sit by remote proctoring, bookings close five days before the end of the window.
When results come out
| Window | Results released |
|---|---|
| 1 | Week ending 20 March 2026 |
| 2 | Week ending 12 June 2026 |
| 3 | Week ending 11 September 2026 |
| 4 | Week ending 4 December 2026 |
Results come out about five weeks after each window closes. If you need a pass before a placement or graduation deadline, count back from that deadline to pick the window, not from today.
How to time your preparation
The registration period closes about three weeks before the window opens. If you register on the last day, you have between three and five weeks until you sit. That is enough for a focused revision plan if you start on the day you register.
- Sit the free 13-question diagnostic the day you register, so you know which strands need work.
- Do one full timed paper a week in the run-up, and use the Skill Gym between papers on the strands the diagnostic flagged.
- Practise on the on-screen calculator simulator before the test. Section 1 lets you use it; Section 2 does not.
- Book your test date early in the window if you can, so a technical problem with remote proctoring leaves room for a rebooking inside the same window.
Sitting literacy and numeracy in the same window
You can register for one component or both in the same window. Many candidates sit both, but if one is clearly weaker you can sit that component alone and register for the other in a later window. The fee is charged per component either way.
