NAPLAN and ICAS preparation
Practice papers, test strategy and steady preparation for Year 3 and Year 5 NAPLAN, and ICAS maths and English.
NAPLAN
NAPLAN for Years 3 and 5
- Held in March each year, in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
- Covers reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy
- Mostly online, and the tests adjust to your child's answers (Year 3 writing is on paper)
In Year 2 or Year 4 now? Your child sits NAPLAN next March, so Term 4 is a good time to start.
How we prepare
- NAPLAN-style questions, worked through together
- Narrative and persuasive writing practice
- Working to time, so test day doesn't feel rushed
- Practice papers as homework, gone through next lesson
ICAS
ICAS maths and English
- Optional assessments sat through schools
- Questions go well beyond everyday classwork
- Suits students who want a challenge
Check with your school for this year's dates. We suggest starting about a term ahead.
How we prepare
- Competition-style, multi-step questions
- Ruling out wrong answers in multiple choice
- Reading the question that was actually asked
