What the real test covers
There is no national test in Years 8 and 10, and end-of-year exams differ from school to school. These papers cover the Australian Curriculum (version 9.0) content for the year, and the NAPLAN-style papers keep the Year 7 and Year 9 NAPLAN skills going.
Each practice exam: about 16 questions in 100 minutes, in 3 sections.
Kinds of question: 75% multiple choice, 13% short answer, 13% writing tasks.
