InView study guide
InView · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
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 study guide has 5 sections and about 1,466 words.
01Verbal Classification
Verbal Classification on InView tests how precisely you can group words by meaning and identify the one word that breaks the group's rule. Most items give several words that share a relationship and ask which does not belong, or ask which word belongs with a given set.
300 words, about 2 min02Verbal Analogies
Verbal Analogies on InView presents a pair of words with a specific relationship and asks you to complete a second pair with the same relationship. Order matters: A is to B as C is to D, so the direction from first to second must match exactly.
288 words, about 1 min03Sequences (Nonverbal/Figural Series)
Sequences on InView show a series of figures that change step by step. You must infer the rule and choose the figure that comes next.
285 words, about 1 min04Analogies (Nonverbal/Figural)
Figural Analogies on InView give a pair of figures, A and B, and a third figure C; you choose the figure that relates to C as B relates to A. The relationship is a transformation, often more than one: rotation, reflection, resizing, shading change, adding or removing a part, or moving an element.
300 words, about 2 min05Quantitative Reasoning
Quantitative Reasoning on InView tests numerical patterns and relationships rather than routine calculation. Items may ask for the next term in a number series, a missing value in a proportional relationship, or the result of a multi-step word problem.
