🔢 NAPLAN Numeracy FAQs

Yes. The online numeracy test uses tailored testing. If a student answers initial questions correctly, the system serves harder questions (worth more points) to accurately measure their proficiency band.
How can I print these practice tests?
All our online tests come with a "Print Friendly" version. Simply navigate to the Past Papers Section to download PDF copies for offline work.
What helps with numeracy besides maths problems?
Strong literacy is surprisingly important. Many students fail maths questions because they misunderstand the word problem. We recommend pairing your study with Reading Practice Tests and Language Conventions to improve overall comprehension.
