How are NAPLAN tests administered?
As of now, it is expected that all NAPLAN tests will be held online in 2022. The exception is Year 3 Writing, which will continue to be paper based. ACARA has created a public demonstration site to allow students, teachers, parents, and carers to familiarise themselves with the online format.
