Sample LANTITE Numeracy Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your LANTITE Numeracy exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Without using a calculator, what is 15% of 80?

A.12

B.8

C.15

D.20

Explanation: 10% of 80 is 8 and 5% is half of that, or 4. Adding 8 and 4 gives 12.

2A school orders 6 boxes of pencils. Each box contains 24 pencils. After 96 pencils are given to students, how many pencils are left?

A.24

B.42

C.48

D.54

Explanation: The order contains 6 x 24 = 144 pencils. After 96 are given out, 144 - 96 = 48 pencils remain.

3Without using a calculator, what is 3/4 of 28?

A.18

B.21

C.24

D.37

Explanation: One quarter of 28 is 7, so three quarters is 3 x 7 = 21.

4An excursion requires 1 adult for every 12 students. How many adults are required for 96 students?

A.6

B.7

C.12

D.8

Explanation: Divide the number of students by 12: 96 / 12 = 8. The excursion needs 8 adults.

5Without using a calculator, a book priced at $45 is reduced by 20%. What is the sale price?

A.$36

B.$25

C.$34

D.$54

Explanation: 20% of $45 is one fifth of $45, which is $9. Subtracting the discount gives $45 - $9 = $36.

6A teacher prints an 18-page booklet for each of 27 students. How many pages are printed in total?

A.405

B.456

C.486

D.540

Explanation: Multiply pages per booklet by the number of students: 18 x 27 = 486 pages.

7The cost C, in dollars, of hiring equipment for n days is given by C = 25 + 12n. What is the cost for 8 days?

A.$96

B.$121

C.$145

D.$200

Explanation: Substitute n = 8 into the formula: C = 25 + 12 x 8 = 25 + 96 = 121.

8In a class of 30 students, 0.6 of the students chose the library activity. How many students chose the library activity?

A.12

B.15

C.18

D.24

Explanation: 0.6 means 60%. 60% of 30 is 0.6 x 30 = 18 students.

9Without using a calculator, what is 48 / 6 + 7 x 3?

A.45

B.11

C.29

D.33

Explanation: Do division and multiplication before addition: 48 / 6 = 8 and 7 x 3 = 21. Then 8 + 21 = 29.

10Three notebooks cost $10.50 in total. At the same unit price, how much would five notebooks cost?

A.$14.00

B.$15.50

C.$17.50

D.$21.00

Explanation: The unit price is $10.50 / 3 = $3.50 per notebook. Five notebooks cost 5 x $3.50 = $17.50.

About the LANTITE Numeracy Exam

The LANTITE Numeracy component assesses the personal numeracy of prospective and enrolled initial teacher education students in Australia. It is a computer-based ACER test with 65 numeracy questions: 52 in a calculator-available section and 13 in a calculator-not-available section. Questions draw on number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability, and are set in real-world contexts such as personal and community situations, schools and teaching, and further education or professional learning. Candidates receive a statement showing whether they have met the standard, rather than a published fixed pass percentage.

LANTITE Numeracy Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise proportional reasoning every day: percentages, ratios, rates, unit prices, discounts, weighted marks, and budget splits appear frequently in realistic contexts.

2Build no-calculator confidence with mental percentages, simple fractions, time intervals, unit conversions, and estimation because section 2 must be completed without calculator access.

3Use ACER's official practice material first so you understand the mix of multiple-choice, short-answer, table-reading, and graph-interpretation tasks.

4For measurement questions, write units at each step and convert before multiplying or dividing; many errors come from mixing centimetres, metres, millilitres, litres, and minutes.

5For data questions, identify whether the task asks for mean, median, range, proportion, probability, or a conclusion about validity before calculating.

6Read tables and graphs carefully before choosing a calculation; ACER emphasises extracting relevant information from real-world texts, not just performing arithmetic.
