For schools

Excel Test Zone is a great educational online resource for teachers to use in class in preparation for nationally set tests like NAPLAN*. With thousands of questions, students can prepare for tests in a secure, fun, educational and interactive environment. Excel Test Zone is from the same team who has published quality Excel educational resources for teachers and students for over twenty years. To ensure that we continue to produce quality material for our online product we have commissioned our highly experienced authors to write thousands of carefully graded questions.

How do I know that the test questions in Excel Test zone cover the appropriate content?

  • If you go to the official NAPLAN site, you will be able to view and download past NAPLAN test papers.
  • The questions in Excel Test Zone are not past NAPLAN test paper questions as these are protected by copyright.
  • The Excel questions are completely new and are based closely on the type of questions students are likely to face in the actual tests they are preparing for.
  • Excel specialises in this test area, with twenty years experience in educational publishing. Excel has helped thousands of students succeed in tests with our wide range of practice books for tests such as the Basic Skills Tests, Opportunity Class Placement Tests, Selective Schools Tests, Scholarship Tests, VCE and HSC.
  • The same experienced authors of these very successful test practice books have written the thousands of questions for Excel Test Zone. All our authors are experienced in teaching as well as test construction.

What makes it so useful to you as a teacher?

  • The Excel Test Zone website will provide your students with the ideal practice online — at home or in the classroom — for national tests such as NAPLAN*.
  • Students will be able to practise tests and redo them as many times as they want, review their mistakes and then correct their work so that they see immediate improvement! Using the online personalised feedback feature, students will stay motivated as they compete with themselves and also with other students all over Australia.
  • A teacher will be able to track individual student achievement and responses to questions so that they can assess each student's ability and focus on improving specific areas of weakness.
  • There will be two types of tests to practise for NAPLAN*: Short Tests, which will take around 15–20 minutes to complete, and Sample Tests, which will take the same length of time as the actual tests.
