The first step is to familiarize yourself with what’s on the test. The NNAT3 test for the third grade is a nonverbal test. This means that instead of relying on words, the questions incorporate shapes and figures. The test doesn’t measure what your child has learned in school; rather, it measures his or her reasoning abilities. This is good in that it means your child’s schooling won’t have as large of an impact on their ability to do well on the exam. But this also means that you’ll need to familiarize your child with the skills they’ll need to do well on the test, since they may not have encountered them very much.
The NNAT test for third grade is made up of 48 questions and takes about 30 minutes to complete. The test can be administered either on computer or by paper and pencil. The questions are made up of yellow and blue images. Children who take the test are given two to four subtests to complete.
