Register

Registrations for the October/November 2024 test window (Test Window 4) closed at 5pm AEDT on 7 October 2024. Test registrations will only be accepted during the published registration period; late registrations will not be accepted under any circumstances. 

The National Teacher Workforce Action Plan - LANTITE trial will commence from Test Window 4 in September 2023 (when registration opens). In April 2024, Ministers agreed to extend the national trial by one test window. This decision means that the trial will run for the remainder of 2024, and students will continue to receive unlimited test attempts and improved feedback. Please refer to https://www.education.gov.au/national-teacher-workforce-action-plan/national-teacher-workforce-action-plan-lantite-trial for relevant information. If you are eligible for the trial, you only need to register and pay for the test as per normal through the ACER registration site. If you have previously exhausted all permitted attempts and wish to sit the test again, please contact ACER by emailing teacheredtest@acer.org. 

Please be aware that if you act or communicate in a manner that is dishonest, disruptive, offensive, aggressive or abusive during your test session, or in your verbal or written communications with ACER, ProctorU, or other test staff before, during or after the test, or if you engage in any of the acts listed as misconduct, you may be reported and subject to the CONSEQUENCES as listed on the 'Misconduct' page.

Please read the following information before you register to sit the test at a test centre:

COVID-19 Safe procedures at test centres

COVID-19 is still declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

ACER will take precautionary measures within its reasonable control as recommended by public health authorities in Australia in respect of its test venues. It is each individual candidate’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with and follow any precautionary measures recommended by public health authorities in a candidate’s state or territory.

    • are not feeling well or have any COVID-19 symptoms.
    • live with or have been advised to be a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case.
