School practices for online tests

Umina Beach Public School has commenced its Naplan Online practice tests.

The 45-minute test will give students a range of questions in the Naplan style in order to familiarise themselves with the type of questions and "related functionalities" available in the Naplan Online assessment.

Some of the key features of Naplan Online include interactive navigation, timers and drag-and-drop functionality.

"Students are encouraged to try all the tests for their year level to experience the complete range of question formats and interactive features available in the online Naplan assessment," said principal Ms Lyn Davis.

The practice tests only cover a sample of possible questions and do not reflect the range of curriculum content or skills Naplan Online will assess.

These tests will not be marked and no assessment data will be obtained.

"This practice week is simply to test the network system in a coordinated statewide effort with the other 549 schools who will also be conducting the Naplan Online testing later this year," Ms Davis said.
