|  | | | | Naglieri Non-Verbal Ability Test (NNAT) | | Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) utilize the Naglieri Non-Verbal Ability Test (NNAT) to assist in the identification of gifted and talented students. This multiple choice puzzle format test is administered to all kindergarten and second grade students each year. Additionally, as of 2009, students who are new to SPPS in grades one, three, four and five also take the test.
During the 2009 - 2010 school year the NNAT will be administered between December 1 and December 8 of 2009. The family of each student being tested will be notified by letter of the exact date the test will take place.
Students being tested are given a brief introduction to the test format and a few sample problems to familiarize themselves with that format. Students in Kindergarten are given additional support prior to the test itself to prepare them for the process of choosing "one best answer" for each puzzle problem and indicating that "one best answer" clearly on paper.
