NAPLAN 2012–2016 test papers and answers
To see what we provided for visually impaired students in 2016, go to NAPLAN special print paper tests.
ACARA does not provide access to the NAPLAN tests after 2016. These tests are used for other projects related to the continued improvement of the National Assessment Program. ACARA notes the decision of the Acting Information Commissioner, Timothy Pilgrim, in the Marty Ross decision in support of its position. See our copyright information.
