NNAT3 Level D study guide
NNAT3 Level D · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Third Edition (NNAT3), Level D is a group-administered, fully pictorial reasoning test used by schools and districts to identify students with strong general ability. Level D is aimed at students in roughly the middle-school grades; the publisher, Pearson, publishes the exact grade bands and administration windows on its site. Because no reading, writing, or spoken language is required, the test is often used with English learners and with students whose prior instruction has been uneven. Items are multiple choice, and every item asks the student to work out a visual rule - complete a partly hidden pattern, finish an analogy, continue a series, or mentally fold, rotate, or reflect a shape. The NNAT3 Level D study guide has 4 sections and about 1,502 words.
01Pattern Completion
Pattern Completion is one of the four item types on NNAT3 Level D. Each item shows a grid, matrix, or framed design with one part missing, and you choose the option that completes the pattern.
391 words, about 2 min02Reasoning by Analogy
Reasoning by Analogy items on NNAT3 Level D show a first pair of figures with a relationship, then a second figure and a blank. You select the option that makes the second pair follow the same relationship as the first.
354 words, about 2 min03Serial Reasoning
Serial Reasoning presents a sequence of three to five figures and asks you to choose the next figure. NNAT3 Level D uses these items to test whether you can detect a progression and extrapolate it.
357 words, about 2 min04Spatial Visualization
Spatial Visualization items on NNAT3 Level D ask you to manipulate shapes mentally: rotate, reflect, fold, unfold, combine, or find an embedded figure. The items test spatial working memory and the ability to track how parts move when a whole shape is transformed.
