Sample questions have been provided to give students, teachers and parents a general idea of what students can expect when they sit the national tests. In particular, the purpose of these sample questions is to familiarise students with the question styles.

The samples of test materials at Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are indicative of the style of question for the NAPLAN tests. They are not to be taken as literal examples of the tests and are not representative of the full range of test content, curriculum spread or the full range of item difficulties.
