About this practice test
NAPLAN conventions of language tests check spelling, grammar and punctuation in Standard Australian English. The spelling section comes first, then grammar and punctuation, and the spelling section locks when students move on. This practice test copies that order. The spelling questions practise common patterns and tricky words for Year 3, and the grammar and punctuation questions cover the language features in the Australian Curriculum: English, such as capital letters, question marks, verbs and simple joining words.
