InView case studies
InView · Put your knowledge to work in context.
InView is a cognitive abilities battery - originally published by CTB/McGraw-Hill, with the content now held by Data Recognition Corporation - used in K-12 settings to estimate general reasoning ability. It is not a curriculum test. Schools and districts most often use it as one input to gifted and talented eligibility, magnet and selective-admission decisions, and sometimes to screen students who may need further evaluation. It samples three reasoning strands across five subtests: verbal (classification and analogies), nonverbal/figural (sequences and analogies), and quantitative reasoning. The InView case studies are 5 cases and about 4,222 words.
