PAT Pānui | Reading Comprehension tests students' ability to make meaning across a range of texts including narrative, instructional, persuasive and poetic. You can find Reading Vocabulary here.
Important: We are currently moving to our refreshed PAT Pānui paper tests, replacing PAT: Reading Comprehension. Paper booklets and answer sheets for PAT Pānui will be available from Monday, November 11 and can be used from Term 1, 2025 onwards.
Schools will no longer be able to purchase the older test booklets for PAT: Reading Comprehension and Reading Vocabulary. Schools can continue to purchase answer sheets for Reading Vocabulary here and upload results to NZCER Assist throughout 2025.
