On the clock
A full-length paper, timed.
Each paper has its own time limit, a countdown and a question map, so your child gets used to working at test pace. Reading papers put the text beside its questions.
Numeracy. 36 questions in Year 3, 42 in Year 5 and 48 in Years 7 and 9.
Selective practice. Mathematical Reasoning has 35 questions and Thinking Skills 40.
OC practice. Mathematical Reasoning has 35 questions, Reading 33 answers (14 questions, some with several parts) and Thinking Skills 30.
Any screen. It runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Marked on hand-in
See exactly where every mark went.
Multiple-choice and number answers are marked the moment the paper is handed in. Open the review and each question shows the answer your child gave, the right answer and a model answer with the working.
Right beside each other. Your child's answer and the right answer, on the same card.
A model answer for every question. All 5,744 marked questions have a model answer with the working.
The same marks every time. Multiple-choice and number answers are marked by rules, not AI, so a right answer is always marked right.
What next
Know what to practise next.
After each paper, XReady lists the topics where your child lost the most marks, so the next session goes where it counts.
Topics, not guesses. Every question belongs to a topic such as Number, Measurement, Space, Algebra, Statistics or Probability.
Marks and topics. XReady shows marks and topics. It does not give an estimate or a rank.

Made-up student. Marks and topics only: XReady does not give an estimate or a rank.
Written answers too
Written answers marked in seconds, by criterion.
When your child hands in a paper, their written answers are marked by AI straight away, against the paper's own marking guide. For each criterion the review says whether it was met, why, and quotes your child's own words back to them.
A guide, clearly labelled. Every AI mark says it is a guide and not a mark from the test makers, and a teacher may mark differently.
Your switch, your say. If you switch AI off for your child, nothing is marked by AI and the review says so plainly.
Only where there is a guide to mark against. A question with no marking guide is not marked by AI. The review says so and shows the model answer to compare with.
Kept apart from the marks. AI guide marks sit in their own panel on the results page. They are never added to the marks the rules gave.
A made-up student's written answer, marked by criterion with the child's own words quoted.
Practise the skill again
Missed one? Try a similar one.
After a paper, under a maths question, your child can press "Try a similar one". They get a fresh question on the same skill with different numbers, check their answer, and press "Show me how" to see the working one step at a time. It is made by rules, with no AI.
New numbers every time. Another one makes another question, so there is always something to try.
Step by step. Each step is a short sentence and the line of working, then why it works.
Just for practice. It never changes the paper's marks, and nothing it does is recorded as a result.
Not every question. The button is on 805 of XReady's 1,812 maths questions: the ones whose skill we can safely generate new numbers for.
Under a maths question in the review: a new question on the same skill, then the working step by step.
Practice that feels like progress
Medals for the practice, not the rank.
Your child earns a medal for the work they do: a first paper, three days of practice in a week, beating their own best. A medal says what they did, never how they compare with anyone else.
Earned, never bought. Nothing to buy, nothing that expires, no points and no leaderboard.
Yours to see. Parents see the same shelf on their own screen.

XReady in short
XReady is an online library of timed Foundation, OC and Selective practice papers for Years 3 to 9. A family pays from A$9.99 a month per family (A$14.99 for OC and Selective together) after a 7-day free trial (a card is needed to start), and form 01 of every paper is free to try.
Questions parents ask
- What is a Foundation practice test?
- It is a practice test written in the style of NAPLAN: the same kinds of questions and the same time pressure, but original questions rather than the real papers. XReady's Foundation papers are timed, and multiple-choice and number questions are marked the moment your child hands in.
- Are these the real NAPLAN, OC or Selective papers?
- No. They are original practice papers written in the style of each test, with difficulty set against released practice material where it exists. XReady is independent and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, ACARA or the NSW Department of Education.
- Source: ACARA, National Assessment Program (NAPLAN)
- How much does XReady cost?
- from A$9.99 a month per family (A$14.99 for OC and Selective together), for every child in the family, after a 7-day free trial (a card is needed to start). It renews monthly until you cancel, and you can cancel online from your account page.
- How is my child's writing marked?
- Straight after hand-in, an AI marks each written answer against the paper's own marking guide or, for a short answer, its model or example answer. For every criterion it says whether it was met and quotes your child's own words. It is labelled as a guide, it is not a mark from the test makers, and a teacher may mark differently. Questions with no marking guide or example answer are not marked by AI. If you switch AI off for your child, nothing is marked by AI. Multiple-choice and number answers are marked by rules, not AI.
- What is “Try a similar one”?
- After a paper, under many maths questions, your child can press it for a new question on the same skill with different numbers, then see the working step by step. It is made by rules, with no AI, never changes the paper's marks, and is on 805 of 1,812 maths questions.
- Does XReady have rewards?
- Yes. Your child earns 3D medals for the practice they do, such as a first paper, three days of practice in a week or beating their own best. Nothing is bought, nothing expires, and there are no points or leaderboards.
