Free NNAT Practice: Level D Sample Test (3rd and 4th Grades)

Sample Test Preview

Below there are 6 preview questions that are suited to the Level D NNAT exam. Read the instruction before solving each question. These preview questions are followed by detailed answers, so you can learn how to approach the different types of the questions.

Pattern Completion

1. Choose the shape that matches the pattern of the given matrix

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is 3.



Try and complete the design in your head. You can notice that all three circles are going through the empty rectangle. Therefore, you would expect the answer choices will contain three curves. You can eliminate answer choices 1,2,4 and 5 since they don't have enough curves inside of them. Answer choice 1 has one curve inside while 2,4, and 5 have two. Answer choice 3 has three curves inside (That's why it is correct).

2. Choose the shape that matches the pattern of the given matrix
              

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D.

Spatial Reasoning

1. Observe the matrix and try to figure out a relation between the boxes in the top row. Match the box in the bottom row with one of the boxes in the answer choice so they share the same relation.

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D.

In the top row the figures in the left and center frames combine to make the figure in the right frame. The same idea applies to the bottom row.

Combine the bottom-left and bottom-center frames. In order to solve the question, you will need to realize that the white parts of the frames are transparent. Therefore, the correct answer will include a yellow diamond in a blue background. Notice that answer choice 5 is incorrect since the size of the diamond is inconsistent with the size of the diamond in the first two frames.

We are left with answer choice D as the correct answer.

2. Observe the matrix and try to figure out a relation between the boxes in the top row. Match the box in the bottom row with one of the boxes in the answer choice so they share the same relation.
 

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B. In the above design, determine how the figures relate to each other, and apply this relationship to the row with the empty frame. Visualize how the objects might look when rotated, transformed, or combined.
 
Look at the top row. The left frame contains a parallelogram which is leaning towards the left and is positioned on the top side of the frame. The parallelogram in the right frame flips inwards towards the inside of the frame.

The figures in the bottom row will exhibit the same relationship. Attached to the top side of the outside of the left frame is a narrow and long parallelogram. The frame on the right will also contain a narrow and long parallelogram which is flipped inwards and attached to the inner top side of the frame. Answer choice B adheres to the above requirements and is the correct answer. 

Serial Reasoning

1. Look for a relationship between the figures across the rows and down the columns. The direction in which you examine the question should depend on where you can most easily visualize the analogous relationship.

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is 2.

Down every column, the front rectangle is always the same color. In the left column, it is always blue. In the middle column, it is always yellow. And in the right column, it is always white. The missing frame is in the right column; therefore, it should contain a white rectangle in the front. We can eliminate answer choices 1, 3, and 5 because they do not contain a white rectangle in the front. Additionally, across each row, the back rectangle is always the same color. In the top row, it is always blue. In the middle row, it is always white. And in the bottom row, it is always yellow. The missing frame is in the bottom row; therefore, it should contain a yellow rectangle in the back. We can further eliminate answer choice 4 because it does not have a yellow rectangle in the back. We are left with answer choice 2, which is the correct answer.

2. Look for a relationship between the figures across the rows and down the columns. The direction in which you examine the question should depend on where you can most easily visualize the analogous relationship.

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A.

Identify the image which completes the pattern by examining how the series of shapes change across the rows and down the columns within the matrix. The direction in which you examine the question should depend on where you can most easily visualize the relationship.

Across the rows, the sectors rotate 90 degrees (1/4 of a circle) clockwise. Down the columns, the sectors rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Rotating the sectors in the bottom-middle frame counterclockwise 90 degrees will result in a sector which opens towards the top-right corner of the frame (answer choice A).
