NNAT3 Level G study plan

NNAT3 Level G · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
