What is a good year 9 NAPLAN test score?

NAPLAN is not designed to pass or fail your child's ability, but to report on how your child is progressing in literacy and numeracy over time and how it can be compared to the established standards of all students in Australia.

Test results are reported on a scale from Band 1 to Band 10, with Band 10 being the highest. Minimum and average standards differ from year level to year level, and are divided into; below the national minimum standard, at the national minimum standard and above the national minimum standard.

The national minimum standard for Year 9 NAPLAN test results is Band 6, with Band 7 to 10 recognised as above the national standard.

What happens if my year 9 child scores below the national minimum standard?

Year 9 students who are below the national minimum standard have not achieved the learning outcomes expected for their year level. Although this can feel like a failure, recognising the issues at these crucial year levels allows time for intervention and time to provide your child with the support needed. Make sure your child is fully prepared by using year 9 NAPLAN practice tests.
