LANTITE Results: When You Get Them and What They Mean

Finishing the LANTITE is a relief. Then the waiting starts. Here is exactly what happens after you submit, what your result report actually tells you, and what your options are if you need to sit again.

How Results Are Delivered

ACER notifies you by email when your results are ready, then you log in to your candidate account at teacheredtest.acer.edu.au to view and download your report. Results are released on published dates tied to each test window, not immediately after you finish the test. Check the ACER website for the release schedule for your sitting.

What Your Result Report Shows

The LANTITE result report is intentionally brief. It does not give you a raw score, a percentage correct, or your position relative to other candidates. What it does give you is a band indicating where your performance sits.

Band	What It Means
Below Standard	Did not meet the pass standard. You will need to sit this component again.
At or Above Standard (Band 2)	Met the pass standard. You have passed this component.
Clearly Above Standard (Band 3)	Met the pass standard and performed well above it.

The pass standard is set at the 70th percentile of the Australian adult population, validated against the OECD PIAAC assessment. Band 2 and Band 3 are both passing results. There is no practical difference between them for initial teacher education admission purposes.

Results Do Not Expire

A passing result is permanent. Once you meet the standard on a component, that result does not expire. You also do not need to resit a component you have already passed. Literacy and Numeracy are assessed independently, so if you pass Literacy on your first attempt but do not meet the standard on Numeracy, you only need to sit Numeracy again.

Results Are Transferable Between Institutions

Your LANTITE result is not tied to one university. It is transferable across accredited initial teacher education programs in Australia. If you change institutions or apply to a second program, your result follows you.

No Appeals or Re-marking

ACER does not offer an appeal process or re-marking for LANTITE results. The test is computer-delivered and machine-scored, which removes the subjectivity that re-marking is designed to address. If you did not meet the standard, the path forward is to prepare and resit.

If You Did Not Meet the Standard

A Below Standard result on one or both components does not end your teacher education pathway. Here is what to do:

• Review the skills guide on the ACER website to understand the content areas tested.
• Identify whether your gap is in a particular process or content strand. For Literacy, that might be reading comprehension versus grammar and punctuation. For Numeracy, it might be the no-calculator section or a specific content area such as statistics.
• Build a structured study plan and practise with questions that mirror the actual test format.
• Register for the next available test window. There is no limit on the number of times you can sit.
