as a university student who is currently in third year the imposed LANTITE exam is one of great stress for many students completing there degrees.Having to juggle full time work along with a workload of 5 units per semester makes it almost impossible to set aside time to study and put towards this exam without feeling extreme fatigue / burnout . I’ve had to take a whole year off uni to feel prepared enough to study hard enough and put enough money into investing in tutoring sessions and resources to help myself prepare to sit this ridiculous test of which is not even a measure of my ability to teach considering I am able to achiever HDs in most of my subjects at university , I’m sure if you reconsidered looking at this exam you would have a double supply of teachers
