Saniya Misbah, 10, said she wasn't nervous about NAPLAN until she sat down to do the writing test on Tuesday morning.
"Regular tests just end up in your report but mum said she cares about NAPLAN, she just said to try your best," Saniya said.Students across Australia are sitting the NAPLAN tests over the next 10 days, with about 50 per cent sitting the exams online and the rest continuing to do the pen and paper versions.
Katie Patterson, who is the acting assistant principal at Catherine McAuley Westmead, said some students got a message on-screen saying there was a "momentary connection issue" but it would be gone within about 30 seconds. "It was quite smooth," she said. All schools are expected to be online by next year but concerns have been raised by some groups, including the Australian Education Union, about the comparability of results while some schools are sitting the tests online and others are still doing the pen and paper version.
pallavisinghal_ Utter rubbish. !! this was not teh experience of large numbers of students!! Do some research around Aus on what happened to large numbers of kids!
pallavisinghal_ my son lost 15 mins to NAPLAN connection issues today - intermittently frozen screen, but the timer kept ticking. The whole class has issues ! How can they be fairly marked when they didn’t get 100% of the allocated time to answer ?
pallavisinghal_ I hope you mean either 'was' smooth or went 'smoothly'

'I can see a disaster': Principals concerned about online NAPLAN testAbout 50 per cent of Australian schools are expected to take part in NAPLAN Online this week. But there are concerns technical glitches could disadvantage some students. Incompetent Coalition government morons cannot get anything right...ffs thank goodness we get to kick them out this week As the organiser of NAPLAN at my school, I have next to no confidence that it will be without tech issues. We have been provided no contingency measures. It doesn’t help that they want students do the tests in a certain order... .... with no regard to how difficult it is to rearrange tests for absent students, etc. Nuts!

Principals concerned about online NAPLAN testAustralian principals are worried technical problems could plague the roll-out of the computerised NAPLAN test this week. Why not? I mean, what's wrong with it if it does go 'digital', everything else is and kids in kindergarten are using tablets now instead of books. It wouldn't matter how they were done. People would still complain.
