Free Year 3 NAPLAN-style numeracy practice test

25 questions in 45 minutes, for Year 3. Free, with no sign-up.

Twenty-five maths questions on a forty-five-minute clock, the time the real Year 3 numeracy test takes. Your child picks an answer for each. Then you see the marks, what the paper found and the skills to look at first.

The real test
The real Year 3 NAPLAN numeracy test takes 45 minutes, as nap.edu.au states, and this paper has the same clock. It has 25 questions, the number Learnest chose: the real test is tailored online, so the questions change with a child's answers. The questions here are Learnest's own, in the style of the test, and never from a past paper. ACARA's free public demonstration site on nap.edu.au shows the real format.
What it covers
  • Number and algebra 11 questions
  • Geometry 3 questions
  • Problem solving 4 questions
  • Measurement 5 questions
  • Data and chance 2 questions
What it leaves out
This paper is not tailored: every child gets the same questions, and all of them are multiple choice. There is no writing and no reading paper here.
How to sit it
A quiet table, a pencil and spare paper for working, and no calculator. Press Start the clock below, or set a timer for 45 minutes. Your child picks one answer for each question.
Sitting it again
The questions are the same every time, so your child can sit this paper again. Leave a few weeks first, so the second try shows what they can do rather than what they remember.

Learnest marks the answers and keeps none of them. There is nothing to sign up for and no email to give.
