NAPLAN
NAPLAN practice tests for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
NAPLAN asks a child to show what they can do in reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. Very little of it is new material — most of the difficulty is in reading a question carefully, working under a clock, and not being thrown by a format nobody has seen before. That last part is the one practice actually fixes.
Practice by year
12 sections, each with real questions you can answer now without an account.
Common questions
- Which years sit NAPLAN?
- Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Each year level has its own papers here, because a Year 3 numeracy question and a Year 9 one share almost nothing beyond the name of the section.
- Can my child practise without an account?
- Yes. Every section page has real questions from our papers that anyone can answer, with the worked solution. A free account opens the full papers.
- What is in the full papers?
- Single-topic sets of around 18 questions for working on one weakness at a time, and full-length papers for a timed run at a whole section. Answers are marked and every question has a worked solution.
- When is NAPLAN held?
- The testing window is set each year by ACARA and published on the official NAPLAN site. We do not repeat the dates here because they move, and a stale date on a preparation site is worse than none.
For official information, see Official NAPLAN information from ACARA.
