Common questions

Everything parents ask us.

Is the practice test really free?

Yes. There's no credit card required and no hidden trial — just enter your email, tick the consent checkbox and the PDF is yours. We'll send you useful practice tips from time to time, which you can unsubscribe from instantly.

What year levels do you cover?

We currently have tests for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Year 3 and 5 are the main NAPLAN years; Year 4 is key for OC placement; Year 6 for Selective School. We're working on expanding to Years 7 and 8 soon.

How many questions are in each test?

Each test contains 20–30 questions — enough to get a genuine feel for the format and difficulty without overwhelming your child. Full answer keys with explanations are included.

Is this the same content as the real NAPLAN test?

Our questions are modelled on published NAPLAN frameworks and past-paper question styles. They're not official NESA materials, but they're designed to closely replicate the difficulty, format and topic coverage of the real exam.

Can I download more than one test?

Absolutely — just submit the form again with a different test type or year level. Each combination generates a separate PDF so you can build a complete practice pack for your child.

What's the difference between OC and Selective prep?

Opportunity Class (OC) tests are for Year 4 entry; Selective School tests are usually sat in Year 6. Both include reading, maths and thinking skills components, but the Selective test is harder and more abstract. Our Thinking Skills tests target both. See our OC vs Selective parent guide for a detailed breakdown.

Will my child receive spam after downloading?

No. You'll receive the PDF plus occasional tips from Cleveroo about exam prep and resources. Each email has a one-click unsubscribe. We never sell your data — see our Privacy Policy.

Can I use these tests in my classroom?

Yes — teachers are very welcome to download and print these for classroom use. If you need a larger set of materials or a school licence, get in touch and we'll sort you out.

Ready to give your child the edge?

Cleveroo's full platform adapts to your child's level, tracks their progress and makes 15 minutes of practice a habit they'll actually enjoy.
