Which paper is my child's year?
ICAS papers are lettered, NAPLAN only runs in some years, and the AMC uses divisions — three different systems for the same twelve year levels. Pick your child's year and see all three at once.
ICAS
The lettered Papers A–F cover Years 3–8, so there is no Year 1 paper in that range. ICAS runs other assessments outside it — your school can say what it offers — and our ICAS overview covers the A–F papers.
NAPLAN
No NAPLAN in Year 1 — it runs in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 only; the next one is Year 3. NAPLAN overview →
Australian Mathematics Competition
The AMC's lettered divisions start at Year 3. For Years 1–2 the useful work is everyday practice at level — how Meritly works →
