NAPLAN Technical Requirements

To ensure your child’s NAPLAN experience runs as smoothly as possible, please ensure the following:

• Your child’s device meets the minimum software and hardware specifications.
• The latest Naplan Locked Down Browser (can be downloaded from SCSA here) has been installed and is functioning (v5.6.15 for Windows or v5.7.1 for MacOS).
• The device audio is working, and your child has a set of headphones.
• For further information about 2024 NAPLAN lockdown browsers, please read 2024 NAPLAN Technical Requirements

To check if the NAPLAN locked down browser has been installed correctly, close all applications and double click to run the NAPLAN locked down browser. Select “DEVICE CHECK without login” to ensure your device can play a sound and see a picture. Once you have checked your device is functioning properly you may exit the NAPLAN locked down browser by clicking on the X at the bottom right hand side of the browser.

If you are having difficulties checking and installing the appropriate NAPLAN lockdown browser please have your child visit the ICT office (before school, Break 1, Break 2 or after school), so we can provide assistance.
