What types of questions are on the NNAT Level C?

The Level C NNAT (second grade) includes four types of questions: Pattern Completion, Reasoning by Analogy, Serial Reasoning, and Spatial Visualization. 

• Pattern Completion: These questions present a large picture of geometric shapes from which a part was taken out.
  The answer choices present different parts that might fit the missing part. The student must choose the correct part that is missing from the large picture.
  
  
• Reasoning by Analogy: The student is presented with four boxes, two on the top row and two on the bottom row. Three of the boxes is filled with geometric shapes and the other box is empty. The empty box is in the bottom row. The boxes on the top row go together in a special way. The student must choose a box from the answer choices that will go in the same way with the box on the bottom row.
  
  
• Serial Reasoning: In this kind of questions you get a matrix comprised of boxes. Each box has different geometric shapes in it and there is a relationship between the boxes across the rows and down the columns. One of the boxes will be empty and the student must choose the correct answer choice that will fit to the analogous reasoning.
  
  
• Spatial Visualization: Questions of this sort require mental manipulation of shapes. The student is presented with a matrix comprised of boxes that are filled with geometric shapes, except for one box that remains empty. The boxes rows, columns or both are a series of manipulations that happen on the shapes inside of the boxes. The student must use logic to determine which answer choice could match the pattern and go into the empty box.
