NNAT3 Level B study guide

NNAT3 Level B is the Grade 1 form of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Third Edition, a reasoning test built entirely from shapes, symbols, and patterns. Because item content carries no reading, writing, or spoken language, it is often used to look at reasoning ability in children whose language or schooling background might otherwise mask it - including English learners, very young test-takers, and children being screened for gifted and talented programs. Level B sits early in a sequence of levels that runs from kindergarten through Grade 12, so the puzzles are pitched at a six- or seven-year-old's visual reasoning rather than at arithmetic or vocabulary. The test is administered in groups or individually and is scored against national norms, so results are usually reported as percentiles and stanines rather than a simple pass mark. The NNAT3 Level B study guide has 4 sections and about 1,199 words.
