NAPLAN is not designed to pass or fail your child's ability, but to report on how your child is progressing in literacy and numeracy over time and how it can be compared to the established standards of all students in Australia. However, to give your child the best chance, we recommend completing year 7 NAPLAN practice tests.
Test results are reported on a scale from Band 1 to Band 10, with Band 10 being the highest. Minimum and average standards differ from year level to year level, and are divided into; below the national minimum standard, at the national minimum standard and above the national minimum standard.
The national minimum standard for Year 7 is Band 5, with Band 6 to 9 recognised as above the national standard.
