Prepare your child for NAPLAN Year 3 with Australia's most comprehensive free practice test. Designed for Year 2 students, aligned to the Australian Curriculum v9.0.
Brightstar's NAPLAN Prep Hub gives Year 2 students a complete, free preparation experience for the Year 3 NAPLAN assessment. With 416 practice questions across all four NAPLAN domains, children can build confidence and familiarity with the test format before the real thing.
Comprehension practice with narrative, informational, procedural, and persuasive texts. Passages feature Australian themes including Indigenous culture, native animals, the Great Barrier Reef, bushfires, cricket, and more. Questions test factual recall, inference, vocabulary in context, and main idea identification.
Spelling (80 questions): Common Year 2/3 words, homophones (their/there/they're, to/too/two), silent letters, double consonants, and tricky patterns. Grammar (60 questions): Verb tense, subject-verb agreement, pronouns, apostrophes, commas, direct speech, conjunctions, contractions, sentence types, and more.
Covers 24 topic areas including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, place value, money, time, measurement, data and graphs, 2D and 3D shapes, patterns, symmetry, area, capacity, chance, and multi-step word problems.
Guidance on planning, structuring, and checking written responses, including how to start with a hook, use descriptive language, vary sentence starters, and organise paragraphs.
Unlike most free practice platforms, Brightstar includes 80 interactive questions that mirror the real NAPLAN Online format. These include drag-and-drop (reorder sentences, sequence events, sort numbers), hot text (tap the spelling or punctuation error), inline choice (select the correct word from options within a sentence), and multi-select (choose all correct answers).
The Full Practice Test simulates the real NAPLAN Online experience with 3 separately timed sections (Reading, Language Conventions, Numeracy), question flagging for review, a review screen showing answered, unanswered, and flagged questions, and per-section results with a detailed breakdown. Questions are randomly selected each time for fresh practice.
The NAPLAN Year 3 test takes place in March, just weeks into the school year. That means the content is based on what students learned in Year 2. Starting preparation early gives children time to build confidence, identify areas for improvement, and become familiar with the online test format — all without the pressure of last-minute cramming.
