The Naglieri General Ability Tests (NGAT) is administered to in-distrct students online to students in 1st-5th grades. There are three total subtests: Verbal, Nonverbal, and Quantitative timed at 30 minutes each for 1st-2nd and 35 minutes for grades 3rd up. The total test takes a maximum of 90 minutes to complete (unless a student has a documented accommodation for extended time).  

The NGAT does not have any written words. Students will see one question per screen and move at their own pace. The questions get progressively more difficult as the student moves through the subtest. 

The NGAT is a norm-referenced test, meaning your child’s performance is compared with a nationally representative sample of students who took the tests. The score is reported in a percentile ranking, which compare your child’s results to those of a group of children of the same age chosen to be representative of the U.S. population. Percentile rank tells you what percentage of students of the same age scored the same or below your child. If a student scores at the 90th percentile, that means that he or she scored the same or better than 90% of the students of the same age.
