Free practice quizzes › NAPLAN Numeracy Year 9 quiz › Financial maths
NAPLAN reports a Year 9 result in four proficiency levels, and the difference between Developing and Strong is usually a handful of specific skills. Financial maths is one of the areas where our tutors see that gap most often. Use this single-topic quiz to test it directly, then the mixed NAPLAN quiz to see how it holds up alongside everything else.
A short orientation first. Year 9 financial maths covers simple interest, compound interest by repeated calculation, wages and salaries, budgets, percentage change and GST, with a calculator and spreadsheets as tools.
Our tutors wrote and checked these questions against the Victorian Curriculum, which is why the wording and the difficulty match what a Year 9 student meets at school.

Practice works when it is short, regular and specific. For financial maths, our tutors suggest:
For Years 7 to 10, practise the way a test is sat: mixed questions, time limits, full working. Then mark it honestly and re-do the errors.
