Information for New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory schools

Schools in NSW and the ACT have templates for NAPLAN tests performed either:

  • using pen and paper
  • online.

Since Synergetic exports the pen and paper version you must compare the file exported from Synergetic with the template provided by the NSW or ACT Education Standards Authority. If the exported file does not match the template, open the exported file in Excel then copy and paste individual columns from the Synergetic file into the template you have been supplied, and manually enter any extra columns which were not able to be generated by Synergetic.

Important: You must ensure that data is copied into the correct column and avoid copying over any formulas embedded in the template.

. There are two export modes. You can use the:

  • Selected Year Projection mode to export the NAPLAN student registration data (including Finalised Future Students) for the selected Year.
  • Next Year Projection mode to export the NAPLAN student registration data for next year (i.e Year + 1).

    Note: The Next Year Projection export is typically performed late in the current year when the government requests Year 3 registration data for next year. The Next Year Projection process finds all current and finalised future Students enrolled on the Process Date (NAPLAN test date), increments their Year Level by one, and exports the students whose incremented Year Level matches the selected Year Level From and To range.
