As to my personal experience, I have now prepped two of my children for the NNAT and both have done outstanding.  When they began the practice tests, their scores were good, missing 6 or 7 questions out of 39 or so.  By the time we were done, they recognized patterns of questions (there are only so many ways to show patterns on a line, a checker board with a missing piece, etc.) knew a process of eliminating wrong answers first and closely studing the last two, when to guess, when to skip a question that was taking too long (but never leaving a blank), etc.  At that point they were missing only an occasional answer. .[/quote]

The NNAT, or Naglieri Nonverbal [u]Ability[/u] Test, is just that: a test of the child's[u] ability[/u].

Many children can learn how to answer the questions when taught how, but the idea of the test is to see how quickly a child can grasp a concept he or she has never seen before.

When a child practices taking the test ahead of time, the result is no longer a true measure of the child's ability.
