NNAT3 Level F case studies
NNAT3 Level F · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The NNAT3 Level F is the most advanced level of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Third Edition, a nonverbal ability measure used by schools and programs to estimate general reasoning ability in older students, typically those in the upper secondary grades. Because items rely on shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships rather than reading, vocabulary, or arithmetic, the test is designed to give a fairer read on reasoning for students still developing English proficiency, students with limited academic exposure, or students whose verbal scores may understate their ability. The NNAT3 Level F case studies are 5 cases and about 4,058 words.
