NNAT3 Level E case studies
NNAT3 Level E · Put your knowledge to work in context.
NNAT3 Level E is the most advanced form of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Third Edition, a language-free measure of general reasoning ability used in gifted and talented identification. Level E is aimed at upper-secondary students, and because items use shapes, matrices, and figural sequences rather than reading or vocabulary, the test is intended to be fair to students still developing English, to multilingual learners, and to those whose reasoning is stronger than their school grades suggest. The NNAT3 Level E case studies are 5 cases and about 3,554 words.
