QUESTION: Are any students exempted from sitting NAPLAN tests?
ANSWER: Students with severe intellectual or functional disabilities or students from a non-English speaking background who have been learning English in Australia for less than one year are eligible for exemption. However, this is not automatic and parents may choose for their child to participate.
Detailed answers and responses to the official sample NAPLAN questions and the May 2008 and May 2009 NAPLAN tests are available from Kilbaha Multimedia Publishing.
