The NAPLAN tests will be conducted over 3 days from 14–16 May 2013.

For students in Years 3 and 5, there are four tests covering numeracy, reading, writing and language conventions (spelling, punctuation and grammar).

For students in Years 7 and 9, there are five tests including two tests in numeracy – a calculator allowed test and a non-calculator test.

The Handbook for Principals (PDF), which has been distributed to all schools, contains two parts.

• Part A ­– National Protocols for Test Administration
• Part B – Jurisdictional information detailing the administration, processing and reporting of NAPLAN in NSW schools

Principals were required to complete the Statement of Compliance, acknowledging that they have read the Handbook for Principals, before the Participation and Registration (PAR) website could be accessed during phase 1 (4–8 March).

Other key dates leading up to NAPLAN test week are available.
