The Student Item Analysis Writing - Online report shows how a student has performed by NAPLAN writing criterion (i.e. rubric).

This report includes results for the students who have participated in a NAPLAN writing test online. Paper results are reported on a separate report. This report includes the Online Writing domain only. Other domains are on a separate report.

How will this report benefit me?

The report allows schools to analyse the NAPLAN performance of individual students, for each criterion (also known as a rubric). Used in conjunction with the school-level report, it can indicate which students may need additional help with specific criterion.
