NAPLAN is an annual assessment for all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It tests the types of skills essential for every child to progress through school and life. The tests cover skills in reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy. The assessments are undertaken every year in the second full week in May.
NAP sample assessments occur annually on a rolling basis. In 2021, ICT literacy was due to be assessed, having been deferred from 2020 due to COVID-19. However, the ICT literacy test has been deferred again, to 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, civics and citizenship was tested and in 2018, science literacy was tested.
