1. Removal of Test Attempt Limits

The most significant change is the removal of all test attempt restrictions. Candidates can now sit the test as many times as needed to meet the standard. This change was implemented following the National Teacher Workforce Action Plan trial.

Note: Standard test fees still apply for each attempt.

2. Improved Results Feedback

ACER (Australian Council for Educational Research) has revised the Literacy and Numeracy statements of results to provide more detailed feedback. Candidates who don't meet the standard now receive specific information about areas needing improvement, helping them better prepare for future attempts.

This enhanced feedback system from ACER helps identify specific skill gaps, making it easier to target your preparation efforts effectively.

3. Standardized Test Windows

Four test windows are now offered throughout 2025, providing more consistent scheduling for candidates planning their attempts.

4. Updated Remote Proctoring

ACER's remote proctoring system has been updated with new guidelines as of January 2025. These updates aim to improve the online testing experience for candidates choosing to take the test remotely through ACER's approved platform.

These changes provide greater flexibility for teacher candidates while maintaining the high standards required for teacher registration. The removal of attempt limits and improved feedback system particularly benefit candidates who may need multiple attempts to achieve the required standard.

The standardized test windows and updated remote proctoring also make the test more accessible, allowing candidates to better plan their preparation and choose their preferred testing method.
