Step 4: Unzip the downloaded file.
Navigate to the downloaded zip file on your computer and unzip the file.
Step 5: Rename the files
Once you have unzipped the files to your computer you will need to rename the files to any name that makes sense to you.
The file will be named like below
StudentOutcomeLevel_Yr3.csv
StudentQuestionLevel_Yr5.csv
We suggest adding the word NAPLAN and the calendar year to each file name:
2021_NAPLAN_StudentOutcomeLevel_Yr3.csv
2021_NAPLAN_StudentQuestionLevel_Yr5.csv
It does not matter what you call the files though, just so long as you understand what they are.
