NAPLAN Year 3: what BrightHop has so far
NAPLAN is first sat in Year 3. BrightHop does not have Year 3 NAPLAN-style practice tests yet, so this page says what it does have.
BrightHop is not affiliated with or endorsed by ACARA, the NSW Department of Education or any test authority. It is practice and learning support, not a guarantee of any result, placement or score.
What the official test covers
- NAPLAN is for all Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students.
- Students sit assessments in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
- Students sit the tests online, and the tests are tailored (adaptive): difficulty adjusts to the student’s responses.
- Results are shown against four levels of proficiency: Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs additional support.
Checked on 2026-10-31. Always confirm details with the official pages, as they can change.
What BrightHop can help with now

See the free check
Nearest free check (general practice)
These are ordinary curriculum Skill Checks. They are not exam-style and are not NAPLAN, OC or Selective practice.
What is not available yet
- No Year 3 NAPLAN-style practice tests.
- Year 3 English has few topics, so its check is narrow.
How the check works and what happens after
A Skill Check is free and needs no account. Each question is marked as your child answers, and the result shows the skills that may need attention. It is an informal check, not a diagnosis or proof of mastery. When an answer is wrong, a short lesson with a worked example explains the idea, a follow-up question checks it, and a retest later shows whether it helped. Keeping progress needs a free account.
