NAPLAN / Year 5
Year 5 is the second NAPLAN sitting. Papers are longer and more demanding than Year 3, with the same four test areas.
Students read magazine-style texts and answer questions on literal meaning, inference, and how language is used.
Year 5 Reading →
One prompt. Students plan and write a persuasive or narrative response under timed conditions.
Year 5 Writing →

Year 5 Language Conventions →
Number, algebra, measurement, geometry, statistics, and probability. Years 7 and 9 split calculator and non-calculator papers.
Year 5 Numeracy →
Times below are the usual NAPLAN lengths for this year. Each OZ Test Hub paper uses the clock printed on that past test.
