NAPLAN Online Testing
Overview
All students taking part in NAPLAN Online tests must install a locked down browser app suitable for their device. Locked down browser applications are available for devices that meet the minimum device requirements. Android devices are not supported. Students with appropriate disability adjustment codes (DACs) do not require a locked down browser.
What is a locked down browser?
- A locked down browser is a secure test player in which students take NAPLAN online tests. It is designed to prevent access to all other applications, tools such as spellcheck, web pages or software while the student is taking the test.
- Locked down browsers can accommodate disability adjustments and make use of assistive technology for students if required.
- The locked down browser application does not contain test content. Test content is only available to the student within the locked down browser while they are in a test session invigilated by a Test Administrator.
Links to install the locked down browser for various supported operating systems are below, along with installation / usage instructions (in PDF form).
