OLNA 2023
The OLNA is an online literacy and numeracy assessment and is designed to enable students to successfully meet the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) requirement of demonstrating the minimum standard of literacy and numeracy. Students who have achieved Band 8 or higher in any of the three components of reading, writing and numeracy in their Year 9 NAPLAN are acknowledged as having demonstrated proficiency in using a range of ACSF Level 3 skills in that component and will not be required to sit the corresponding OLNA test.
The OLNA Reading and Numeracy tests each comprise 45 multiple‐choice questions. Students have 50 minutes to complete each of these tests. The OLNA Writing test is a typed response of up to 600 words.
