Some frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the NAPLAN resources offered by Kilbaha Multimedia Publishing. We will edit and update this section as we become aware of other questions.

Q1. What is the difference between the NAPLAN trial tests and the detailed answers to the NAPLAN Tests?

A1. Each year Kilbaha produces new and original NAPLAN trial tests with detailed answers based on the current format of the May ACARA NAPLAN tests. Each year Kilbaha also produces detailed answers to May ACARA NAPLAN tests. These detailed answers do not include the questions because these questions are copyright ACARA.

Q2. How many different NAPLAN trial tests have been produced by Kilbaha?

A2. There are now five (5) complete sets of NAPLAN trial tests - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 in Language, Numeracy, Reading and Writing for each of Years 3, 5, 7, 9. The total number of tests available is 5 x 18 = 90. All tests are supplied with detailed answers.

Q3. Are there any official ACARA NAPLAN tests available to the general public?

A3. There is a set of EXAMPLE NAPLAN tests published on the ACARA website. http://www.nap.edu.au/naplan/the-tests.html Answers are provided but no explanations are given. Kilbaha has detailed answers available to these EXAMPLE NAPLAN tests.

Q4. Where can I get copies of the 2012 May ACARA NAPLAN tests?

A4. You cannot get these tests because they have not been released by ACARA to the general public. Many schools have kept copies for internal use. If you think this is a ridiculous policy, please contact ACARA and complain.

Q5. What is the fastest way for me to get the Kilbaha NAPLAN resources?

A5. All Kilbaha trial tests and detailed answers can be downloaded from the website http://kilbaha.com.au

Q6. Is it necessary to prepare for the May NAPLAN tests?

A6. Would you play an important football match without training for it? Would you go to an important job interview without practising for it? Despite what ACARA says, NAPLAN is a test of content as well as skills. You must learn how to spell, write grammatically and punctuate correctly. You must learn how to manipulate numbers and do problems using mathematical concepts. The more you practise to read with understanding, the more competent a reader you will become. The more you practise persuasive writing, the better a writer you will become. This is not teaching to the test. This is learning the fundamental literacy and mathematical concepts that are critical to living in the 21st century.

Past NAPLAN Tests - Where are they?

Good morning everyone. Some States are still on holidays but lots of people are now looking for the previous May NAPLAN Tests. Not good news! They are not available except perhaps internally within schools who kept copies. What to do? Kilbaha has NAPLAN Trial Tests in exactly the same format as the ACARA May Tests. Moreover, these Trial Tests come with detailed answers. Kilbaha has produced NAPLAN Trial Tests each year since 2009. They have been used by schools in all Australian States and Territories. They have been written carefully by experienced teachers and tested thoroughly to provide a premium product for all schools and parents. There are 5 full years of NAPLAN Trial Tests with detailed answers.

ACARA NAPLAN Example Tests

ACARA is providing NAPLAN Example Tests on its website for student practice for the May 2013 NAPLAN Tests. The actual May 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 ACARA NAPLAN Tests are no longer on the Website. ACARA is strictly enforcing its decision that the actual May NAPLAN Tests not be made available to the general public. The irony, of course, is that some schools have kept copies of the May NAPLAN Tests and use them with their students. This disadvantages those schools who did not keep copies of the May NAPLAN Tests.

To help all schools and students, we are starting an analysis today of the ACARA NAPLAN Example Tests to show the relationship between these and the actual May NAPLAN Tests.

Year 3 ACARA NAPLAN Example Test - Language Conventions is identical to the May 2009 Year 3 Language Conventions Test

NAPLAN Petition

Hello!
I've started this petition to  The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA):
"Make available the past May NAPLAN Tests (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012)"
and need your help to get it off the ground.
Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here's the link:
http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/the-australian-curriculum-assessment-and-reporting-authority-acara-make-available-the-past-may-naplan-tests-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012
Here's why it's important:

  • Some schools have copies of these tests.
  • Many schools do NOT have copies of these tests.
  • This is unfair.
You can sign my petition by clicking here.
Thanks!
