NNAT3 Level G study plan
NNAT3 Level G · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Pattern Completion & Spatial Visualization
Map the four NNAT3 Level G item types and record the exact visual rule categories each one can test
Practice 30 Pattern Completion items by isolating the missing region and stating the completing rule aloud before choosing
Build a personal error log template with columns for item type, rule missed, and time spent
Define a 6-hour weekly block schedule that protects two 2-hour deep sessions and two 1-hour drills
Your checkpoint
A one-page rule inventory plus a 30-item error log with each miss tagged to a specific rule category
Pattern Completion
Drill Pattern Completion on grid, rotation, and shading-continuation rules until accuracy exceeds 80 percent
Reduce average time per Pattern Completion item to 45 seconds without dropping accuracy
Identify the three rule types you miss most often and rewrite each as a checklist step
Re-test 15 previously missed items cold to confirm the checklist transfers
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-item Pattern Completion set scored and graphed, with a written checklist of your top three failure rules
Spatial Visualization
Practice folding and punching items by tracking hole positions through each fold in reverse
Practice paper-folding and reflection items by sketching the unfolded result before checking options
Learn to eliminate answer choices by counting holes and checking symmetry rather than solving fully
Complete 25 Spatial Visualization items under a 50-second per-item cap
Your checkpoint
A 25-item Spatial Visualization set with hand sketches for every fold sequence and an accuracy score recorded
Spatial Visualization & Pattern Completion
Combine Spatial Visualization with Pattern Completion in alternating 20-item blocks to build switching stamina
Cut careless errors on Spatial Visualization items to under 10 percent of attempts
Review the full error log and retire rule categories you now handle reliably
Simulate a 15-minute mixed block of domains 1 and 4 under exam pacing
Your checkpoint
A 40-item mixed timed set scored against a written target of 85 percent accuracy and 50 seconds per item
Reasoning by Analogy
Deconstruct Reasoning by Analogy items into the relationship type linking each pair before comparing options
Practice separating surface features such as color or orientation from the underlying transformation
Build a taxonomy of analogy relationships including size, count, position, rotation, and shading inversion
Complete 30 analogy items and label every correct answer with its relationship type
Your checkpoint
A relationship taxonomy sheet with at least eight categories, each backed by two worked examples
Reasoning by Analogy & Serial Reasoning
Practice Serial Reasoning by writing the step rule between consecutive frames before predicting the next
Handle two-rule sequences where position and shading change at different rates
Alternate analogy and serial items in 20-item blocks to prevent rule-set confusion
Reduce average time on serial items to 55 seconds while holding accuracy above 80 percent
Your checkpoint
A 40-item combined analogy and serial set scored, with each item annotated by the rule used
Serial Reasoning & Pattern Completion
Revisit Pattern Completion with harder multi-rule items now that serial and analogy skills are in place
Practice spotting accelerating, alternating, and repeating sequence patterns in serial items
Run a full four-domain timed section and log pacing by item type
Target weak item types flagged in the error log with 15 focused repetitions each
Your checkpoint
A full-length timed practice section scored by domain, with a pacing table showing seconds per item type
Pattern Completion & Reasoning by Analogy & Serial Reasoning & Spatial Visualization
Run two full timed simulations under exam conditions and compare scores
Review only logged misses and confirm each rule checklist step is automatic
Finalize a pre-exam routine covering pacing, skip-and-return strategy, and answer elimination
Confirm accuracy targets are met in every domain before stopping practice
Your checkpoint
Two scored full simulations plus a final one-page strategy card listing pacing targets and elimination tactics
Milestones
Week 2: Pattern Completion accuracy at or above 80 percent on a timed 40-item set with average time under 45 seconds
Week 4: Mixed domains 1 and 4 set scored at or above 85 percent accuracy with careless errors under 10 percent
Week 6: Reasoning by Analogy and Serial Reasoning combined accuracy at or above 80 percent with every item annotated by rule
Week 7: Full four-domain timed section completed with a pacing table and no domain below 75 percent accuracy
Week 8: Both full simulations scored at or above 85 percent overall with all four domains individually at or above 80 percent
