More than a million students will put pen to paper tomorrow for the first of the 2015 NAPLAN exams.
This year marks the second group of students who have sat the test at every stage between year three and nine.
For some of those just at beginning of their NAPLAN journey it could also be the last time they sit it in paper form.
From 2017 onwards the test will begin its move online, in some ways mirroring the formula seen below, but with questions that can be tailored to the ability of the student as they move through the test.
Education Minister Christopher Pyne said the shift to a digital format will ensure that results are delivered faster to all schools.
"These assessments are important because they identify whether children have the basic literacy and numeracy skills required to create the foundation for learning in all other subjects," he said.
So do you know your obtuse from your acute, red apples from green, or an adjective from a verb?
Are you smarter than a NAPLAN student?
