Free NNAT reasoning-by-analogy worksheets

NNAT · Reasoning by analogy · Grades 1–8

Reasoning by analogy on the NNAT is a figure analogy, not a word analogy. Two figures show a change. A third figure is given, and you choose the one that has changed in the same way. The change might be the shape, the fill, or the turn. QuizPrint uses its figure-analogy bank for Grades 1–8. Word analogies live on the CogAT verbal pages, not here. The sample is Grade 3. QuizPrint is not affiliated with Pearson, and these worksheets are not official NNAT questions.

Common questions

Are NNAT analogies words or pictures?
Pictures. The student compares figures. CogAT word analogies are a different worksheet.

An analogy is a pair that shows a rule, then a new figure that needs the same rule. A series is one row, and you choose what comes next.
