About the LANTITE Literacy Exam
The LANTITE Literacy component is the literacy half of Australia's Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students, administered by ACER. The official literacy component is computer-based, contains 65 questions, and allows 120 minutes including a short tutorial. The test measures personal literacy in contexts relevant to aspiring teachers, including schools and teaching, personal and community participation, and further education and professional learning. ACER describes the literacy construct as about two-thirds reading and one-third technical skills of writing. Reading items assess access and identify, integrate and interpret, and evaluate and reflect processes across procedural, regulatory, technical, descriptive, informative, persuasive, and narrative texts. Technical writing items assess syntax and grammar, spelling, word usage, and text organisation. Results are reported as whether the candidate has met the standard, which is broadly equivalent to the top 30 per cent of the Australian adult population; ACER states that there is no fixed number correct or percentage needed because forms vary and are equated.

Practice set: 100 multiple-choice questions. Official ACER literacy component: 65 questions in one section, with selected-response and short-answer formats.
