Diagnostic task

To gain a place in the Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) and Tertiary Enabling Program South Australia (TEPSA), applicants must first complete a diagnostic task. 

The TEP diagnostic task consists of multiple-choice tasks covering literacy and numeracy skills. It is completed online and you are given 60 minutes to complete it. Students who speak English as a second language, or who identify as having a disability, have the option of taking an extra 30 minutes.

If you do not have access to the internet then you may book in to sit your TEP diagnostic task internally at Casuarina or Alice Springs campuses.  For dates and times go to Important dates.
