MAXIMISING TEST RESULTS
The NAPLAN*-style Numeracy series focuses on the key skills and knowledge assessed in typical NAPLAN*-style
numeracy tests. Each book contains four, new, full-length tests, which can be photocopied and given to students to
prepare them for the yearly NAPLAN* tests. The first test is annotated with ‘things to know’, ‘hints’, ‘tips’ and ‘traps’,
which guide students through the questions, helping them to understand the test format and question requirements

Introduction
This book is designed to provide a photocopiable resource for teachers to prepare their
Year 7 students for the annual national numeracy test program called NAPLAN. It focuses
on mathematical problems that can be solved using a calculator. The companion book
NAPLAN*- style Numeracy: Year 7 Non-calculator and books for Year 9 are also available.
Teachers may notice that a small number of questions from the Year 7 books are repeated
in the Year 9 titles. This reflects the official test format and is done for psychometric analysis
purposes. Each title in the Maximising Test Results: NAPLAN*-style Numeracy series contains
four photocopiable practice tests. These tests cover the range of numeracy skills that students
need to master in order to meet the minimum standards for their year level.
Test 1 is annotated with the following helpful teaching features:
HINTS – explain what the question is really asking students to do.

TIPS – offer helpful tips for students to use when working out the correct answer.
TRAPS – point out common errors or ways in which students may misinterpret the question.
THINGS TO KNOW – outline key facts, definitions and mathematical knowledge that students
need to learn before sitting the tests.
The annotated test is designed to build students’ understanding and confidence about the
kinds of knowledge required to answer questions in the test, and also to provide them with
strategies for answering the different types of questions.
The other three tests provide students with valuable practice in sitting NAPLAN-style
tests, enabling students to become familiar with the style and presentation of questions and
consolidating their numeracy skills and knowledge. Complete answers to all four tests are
provided at the back of the book to assist with time-efficient marking.
