About this practice test
NAPLAN reading tests use a mix of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts. This practice test has original texts written for Year 9 readers and questions that ask students to find information, work out what a word means from the text, make inferences, notice how a text is organised and judge its purpose or message. The results table groups the questions by these skills.
How to use it
- Do the test in one sitting, with the timer on, to get used to the pace of the real test.
- Afterwards, go through every question you missed and read the explanation. The skills table shows what to practise next.
- Try the test again a week later and compare scores. Your best score is remembered in this browser only.
- Teachers can use the tests on a classroom screen to talk through the questions together.
