What is NAPLAN?

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a standardised test in Australia that assesses students’ reading, writing, language, and numeracy skills. It is designed to assess the ability of students relative to their year group at a national level. This test is carried out annually to all primary and secondary school students in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9.
 

How is NAPLAN marked?

Pearson is engaged by NESA to facilitate the marking of NAPLAN exams. Pearson recruits Australian teachers to mark the papers, providing training, resources and support to ensure that all the exams are marked accurately and promptly. All marking occurs digitally, within our secure online platforms.
