Free NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) Australia Exam Questions and Answers
NAPLAN is run by ACARA for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, and unlike the international studies it is often confused with, individual students do receive individual reports — covering reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. It is delivered online and adapts to the student's responses, so the questions a child sees depend on how they are doing. Since 2023 results have been reported against four proficiency levels — Needs additional support, Developing, Strong and Exceeding — on a scale that is deliberately not comparable with pre-2023 results, so older score comparisons do not hold. The 2026 window ran from 11 to 23 March.
The first 10 questions on this page are free to read, answers included — no account and no card. A plan opens the rest of the bank, the full timed practice test and your weak-topic reporting.
