NNAT3 Level A study plan

Identify the missing region in a partly shown grid pattern by stating which rows, columns, and corners the gap touches

Describe the repeating unit of a pattern in words before choosing an answer, naming its shape, count, and orientation

Reject answer choices that mirror or rotate the repeating unit instead of continuing it

Complete 30 pattern-completion items untimed while writing a one-line reason for each choice

Match paired figures in analogy items by naming the single attribute that changed between them

Classify the change as size, color, count, position, rotation, or shape substitution

Apply the same change rule to the third figure and predict the answer before looking at options

Time 25 mixed pattern-completion and analogy items at 45 seconds each

Distinguish attribute-change analogies from relationship analogies such as part-to-whole and inside-to-outside

Handle two-rule analogies where both shape and position shift

Eliminate options that copy the second figure instead of transforming the third

Explain aloud the rule for 15 items in under 20 seconds each

Order a three- or four-frame sequence by identifying the step that repeats each frame

Detect sequences that alternate between two rules rather than repeating one

Predict the next frame in 20 sequences before viewing the choices

Compare analogy and serial items to state how the reasoning differs

Track cumulative changes such as growing counts or rotating positions across a full sequence

Spot the frame where a sequence breaks its own rule and explain why

Solve 25 serial-reasoning items at 50 seconds each with no skipped items

Rank the four most common rule types by how often you miss them

Mentally fold, rotate, or flip a figure and state the result before checking options

Identify which option is a rotation versus a mirror image of the same figure

Assemble a whole figure from described parts without drawing it

Complete 20 spatial-visualization items with a sketch only after answering

Apply a stated fold-and-cut or fold-and-punch operation and predict the unfolded result

Track which side of a folded figure faces up after one or two folds

Solve paper-folding items by working backward from the punch to the flat sheet

Finish 25 spatial items at 55 seconds each

Run two full-length mixed practice sets under timed conditions

Review every miss and tag it to one of the four domains

Re-drill the two domains with the lowest accuracy from weeks 1 through 7

Confirm pacing so no item takes longer than 60 seconds
