What Are Performance Insights?
Performance Insights is SmartNAPLAN's intelligent analysis engine that goes beyond raw scores. It combines your child's quiz history, topic accuracy, and learning patterns to give you a personalised picture of where they are — and where they need to go.
Every parent wants to know: is my child prepared for NAPLAN? Performance Insights answers that question directly with an estimated NAPLAN Band, a readiness rating (On Track, Needs Improvement, or At Risk), and specific recommendations for what to practise next.
Available in the Parent Portal, Performance Insights update automatically after every quiz — so you always have the latest view of your child's progress without having to dig through raw numbers.

A visual chart showing accuracy across the last 8 quiz sessions — so you can see whether your child is improving, steady, or declining, at a glance.
This Week vs Last Week
A side-by-side comparison of sessions, questions answered, accuracy, and practice time between this week and last — so you can spot when a child is slowing down.
How NAPLAN Readiness Is Calculated
Our readiness algorithm combines your child's overall accuracy with their grade level to estimate a NAPLAN Band. NAPLAN tests students in Years 3, 5 and 7 — and each year level has an expected band range. Here is how we rate readiness:
65%+ accuracy with 3+ quizzes completed. Performing at or above expected level for their grade.
45–64% accuracy. Regular focused practice on weak areas will significantly improve readiness.
Below 45% accuracy. Daily practice across all subjects is strongly recommended.
How Performance Insights Work
Every quiz or practice test your child completes is automatically recorded — no setup required.
Our system analyses accuracy across every topic, identifies patterns, and calculates their current NAPLAN Band estimate.
In the Parent Portal, Performance Insights updates automatically — showing weak areas, strengths, trend charts, and next steps.
Follow the personalised recommendations to focus practice time on exactly what matters most for your child's grade level.
