Before the quiz, here is what the topic means at this level. In Year 5 students plan and deliver presentations for a specific purpose and audience, use persuasive and informative language in speech, listen for point of view and question a speaker's claims.
Every question on this page was written to a specific Victorian Curriculum reference for Year 5 and checked by an RHZ tutor before it could be served.
Most errors in speaking and listening are not random. When Year 5 students sit our Skills Check, the same handful of misunderstandings account for the majority of lost marks:
Spotting which one applies is the useful part; the fix is usually quick once the misunderstanding is out in the open.
Three things a parent or student can do this week:
For Years 3 to 6, pair daily reading with a small amount of writing that gets edited. Grammar sticks when it is used, not when it is drilled.
Every set on this page is a seeded selection of 10 from the 16 speaking and listening questions that pass our quality gate. A different seed gives a different set, and there are many more combinations than any one student will need. The correct answers never appear in the page source; the browser asks our server for them after you press Mark my answers.
Because every question here is on speaking and listening, a low score is a clear signal and a high score is genuinely reassuring for this topic. What it cannot tell you is whether the other Year 5 English topics are equally secure, or how far above the year level the student can go; the free Skills Check covers both.

Yes, completely: no sign-up, no email, no payment, and you can take it as many times as you like. It is one of 3,261 free practice questions RHZ Tutoring publishes across Prep to Year 12. Press New set of questions, or add ?seed= to the address, for a different selection from the same topic.
Because a single-topic set is the most precise free check available: if the score is low, the gap is in speaking and listening and nowhere else. There are 16 eligible questions on this topic in our Year 5 English bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Year 5 English question bank, written to the Victorian Curriculum, checked by a tutor and passed through an automated quality gate. The same bank feeds our tutoring sessions and the free Skills Check. The questions on this page sit at the easy and at-level tiers.
Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in speaking and listening are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
