Frequently asked questions
- When do Year 9 students sit NAPLAN in 2027?
- ACARA sets the 2027 NAPLAN window at 10–22 March 2027. Schools schedule sessions within that period. Confirm exact dates with your child's school.
- Are these official NAPLAN past papers?
- No. Braintree's sample paper uses in-house items that mirror NAPLAN question types and the four-domain structure. Official ACARA materials are accessed through your school.
- How should we use practice tests at home?
- Sit one domain at a time under gentle time limits. Review worked solutions together and discuss method — one or two questions per session is enough for primary students.
