NNAT Level B 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A shape matrix shows: top row has triangle-striped, triangle-solid, triangle-dotted. The bottom row has circle-striped, circle-solid, ___. What is missing?
- Triangle-dotted
- Square-dotted
- Circle-dotted (Correct answer)
- Circle-striped
Correct answer: Circle-dotted
Each shape in the bottom row follows the same fill pattern as its column in the top row, so circle-dotted is next.
Question 2: In a pattern matrix, shapes in the left column are white, shapes in the middle column are gray, and shapes in the right column are black. A triangle appears in the left and middle columns. What belongs in the right column?
- White triangle
- Gray circle
- Black triangle (Correct answer)
- Black square
Correct answer: Black triangle
The shape (triangle) stays the same across the row, but the fill darkens from left to right, giving a black triangle.
Question 3: If a large white circle is top-left, a small white circle is top-right, and a large black circle is bottom-left, what goes in the bottom-right?
- Large white circle
- Small black circle (Correct answer)
- Large black circle
- Small white circle
Correct answer: Small black circle
Size decreases going right (large→small) and color darkens going down (white→black), giving a small black circle.
Question 4: A pattern matrix has squares in the top row and circles in the bottom row. Each row has 1, 2, and 3 shapes from left to right. What goes in the bottom-right cell?
- 1 circle
- 3 squares
- 2 circles
- 3 circles (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 3 circles
The bottom row has circles, and the rightmost column has 3 shapes, so the answer is 3 circles.
Question 5: In a matrix, each row shows a shape getting smaller from left to right. The top row has large, medium, small squares. The bottom row has large, medium, and ___ circles.
- Large circle
- Medium circle
- Small circle (Correct answer)
- No circle
Correct answer: Small circle
The size-decreasing pattern applies to every row, so the missing piece is a small circle.
Question 6: A shape is to its mirror reflection as a letter 'b' is to ___:
- b
- d (Correct answer)
- p
- q
Correct answer: d
A horizontal mirror reflection flips 'b' left-to-right, turning it into 'd'.
Question 7: Big is to small as dark is to ___:
- Black
- Light (Correct answer)
- Color
- Gray
Correct answer: Light
Big and small are opposites, just as dark and light are opposites.
