More than a million students have completed this year’s Naplan exams, which were held in March.
A record 4.48m online tests were sat by 1.2 million students across thousands of schools, quizzing grades 3, 5, 7 and 9 on reading, writing, numeracy, spelling and grammar.
It will be weeks before students know how they did, but last year, one in 10 students were falling behind on core skills.
How do you think you’d fare on the year 9 tests? Take our Naplan test using official practice questions on language conventions and numeracy to find out.
