NNAT3 Level G study guide
NNAT3 Level G · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Third Edition (NNAT3), Level G is a group-administered, fully pictorial reasoning test used by schools and programs to estimate general ability in students in grades 7 through 9. Because every item is made of shapes and patterns rather than words or numbers, the test is designed to be fair to students still learning English, students with limited reading fluency, and students whose reasoning strengths are spatial rather than verbal. Level G items fall into four families: Pattern Completion (identify the missing piece of a design), Reasoning by Analogy (complete a shape relationship of the form A is to B as C is to ?), Serial Reasoning (continue a visual sequence), and Spatial Visualization (mentally rotate, fold, or combine figures). No subject knowledge is required, but speed and accuracy in scanning complex figures matter. The NNAT3 Level G study guide has 4 sections and about 1,453 words.
01Pattern Completion
Pattern Completion presents a large geometric design with a missing region. You choose the option that restores the design.
376 words, about 2 min02Reasoning by Analogy
Each item gives a pair, A : B, and a third figure C. You must find the option D that makes C : D follow the same relation as A : B.
365 words, about 2 min03Serial Reasoning
You see three to five frames in a sequence and choose the frame that comes next. Level G sequences usually change more than one attribute at once, and the attributes may change at different rates.
363 words, about 2 min04Spatial Visualization
These items ask you to manipulate figures mentally: fold and punch paper, rotate or unfold a shape, combine two pieces, or decide what results when shapes overlap. Level G items add steps, so a single mental shortcut is rarely enough.
