NAPLAN
RESULTS
The National Assessment Programme – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests are conducted in May
each year for all students across Australia in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. All students in the same year level are
assessed on the same test items in the assessment domains of Reading, Writing, Language Conventions
(Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) and Numeracy. The ‘National Minimum Standard’ referred to is a
benchmark that is set by the national body responsible for administering the tests.
