1NSW OC & Selective

Opportunity Class & Selective placement tests.

For NSW families, the Department of Education publishes official practice (sample) tests for the Opportunity Class (Year 5 entry) and Selective High School (Year 7 entry) placement tests — covering Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills and Writing. Each link opens the official NSW Education page in a new tab; Cleveroo doesn’t rehost or alter these materials.

2Past test papers

Real NAPLAN papers, by year of sitting.

ACARA publishes the full test papers used in earlier NAPLAN years for Reading, Writing, Language Conventions and Numeracy across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Open the official ACARA page to download the PDFs.

3Online demonstration tests

Practise the on-screen format students sit today.

NAPLAN is now an online assessment. ACARA’s public demonstration site lets students try the real test interface and question types — no login required — so the format feels familiar on test day.

4How to use them

Make familiarisation count.

Past papers work best as a calm warm-up, not a high-stakes mock. Here’s how families on Cleveroo use them.

1

Pick the right year level

Choose Year 3, 5, 7 or 9 papers to match your child’s stage. Start one level below for confidence, then move up.

2

Try the online demo first

Run the NAP demonstration test so the on-screen tools and navigation feel familiar before any timed practice.

3

Review, don’t just score

Talk through the questions that tripped them up. Understanding why matters far more than the number right.

Past papers show the gaps. Cleveroo helps close them.

Once you know where your child stands, Cleveroo turns NAPLAN, OC and Selective prep into a guided weekly plan — adaptive practice, friendly games, and progress parents can actually see.
