What is NAPLAN?
National Assessment Program-Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a national test held for all students in Australia in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
The Literacy component assesses a student’s capabilities in:
The Numeracy component evaluates a child’s skills in:
Questions are either multiple-choice or require a short written response. The genre of the Writing task will change to a persuasive style of writing from 2011.
Individual student performance on each test is shown on national achievement scales from Year 3 to Year 9. Six bands are reported for each year level. The second bottom band at each year level will represent the national minimum standard for students at that year level. The national minimum standard indicates only basic literacy and numeracy skills for that particular year level.
When do the exams take place?
Exams are held every year in the month of May.
Why is the NAPLAN important?
The tests identify particular areas of concern or weakness in both literacy and numeracy.
Test results allow students to compare their level of understanding with students across the nation at their year level.
