LANTITE

About the LANTITE

The is a test of numeracy and literacy skills for students in Initial Teacher Training programs such as Master of Teaching or Bachelor of Teaching before they graduate. It is administered by the ACER government agency.

If you started your 成人大片 program during or after 2017, you will be required to take the LANTITE test in order to graduate.

PLEASE NOTE: The MLC doesn't administer the test or manage the rules for who has to do it so you will need to contact the School of Education for questions about test administration.
