NAPLAN: It's a Skills-Based Test.

With NAPLAN fast approaching, many students may feel a little anxious or the pressure of "having to perform" to a certain level or expectation. Schools can too often place an emphasis on teaching to previous NAPLAN assessments rather than focussing on the skills required to answer ANY question in ANY given test. It is important to teach the skills of explaining, describing, evaluating and eliminating (just to name a few), so that students are prepared to perform to their potential when presented with a range of assessment situations or formats (e.g. multiple choice, short answer questions). Since skills are mastered through constant practise, it is on this premise that NAPLAN practise should be carried out.
