NAPLAN Practice Tests 2027 — Free Online Tests for Years 3, 5, 7 & 9
NAPLAN is sat every March by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The tests are done online and adapt to the student, so the best preparation is being confident with the whole year’s content rather than drilling one type of question.
These free practice tests cover Numeracy, Reading and Conventions of Language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) in the NAPLAN style. Each one is marked as soon as you finish, and shows the correct answer for every question.

Questions parents ask
When is NAPLAN?
NAPLAN runs over a two-week window in March each year for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
Can a calculator be used?
Only in part of the Year 7 and Year 9 Numeracy tests. Years 3 and 5 are non-calculator throughout, and so are these practice papers.
What do the results mean?
Results are reported in four proficiency levels: Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs additional support. In 2025 about one in three students nationally were below the Strong level.
