Masterpiece Academy’s Self-Paced NGAT® Prep and Enrichment Class is designed for busy families who want flexible, effective test preparation. This comprehensive course includes recorded instructional videos, focused skill-building lessons, interactive quizzes, and full-length NGAT® practice tests. It’s perfect for students with limited time who still want to strengthen their verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning skills at their own pace.

Here is the class outline:

1. NGAT® Diagnostic Test

1 hr, 44 min

This diagnostic assessment is designed solely for educational enrichment and preparation purposes. It is not affiliated with, nor does it replicate, the copyrighted or secure content of the Naglieri General Ability Tests® (NGAT®). This class is intended to help students become familiar with the format, structure, and reasoning skills commonly assessed in general ability tests.

2. NGAT® At-Home Skillbuilders | Verbal

1 hr, 30 min

These resources were specially curated by The Masterpiece Academy for students enrolled in our NGAT® Prep and Enrichment class. Each activity, game, and video is intentionally selected to help children develop the same kinds of visual and conceptual reasoning used in the Verbal Reasoning section of the Naglieri General Ability Test (NGAT® ). The resources focus on building skills such as categorization, grouping objects by shared features, and identifying the item that does not belong in a picture-based set. Many activities require no reading or writing, reflecting NGAT’s language-free format and equity-focused design. From printable sorting tasks to classification videos and simple at-home games, each resource supports our goal: helping every child grow confident in their ability to think critically and conceptually using visuals—not words. These are not required, and there is no deadline for submission. Families may explore them at their own pace to extend classroom learning and make reasoning practice playful and engaging at home.

3. NGAT® At-Home Skillbuilders | Quantitative

5 min

These resources have been specially selected by The Masterpiece Academy for students enrolled in our NGAT® Prep and Enrichment class, with a focus on developing Quantitative Reasoning skills as measured by the NGAT®-Q. In the Quantitative section of the Naglieri General Ability Tests®, children are not solving math problems or equations. Instead, they examine relationships between numbers or symbols to identify simple patterns, sequences, or equivalency. None of the items requires reading or word problems. Our resources reflect this design — they invite students to practice reasoning with number patterns, visual equations, balance puzzles, and pattern games that build logic using pictures rather than text or formulas. These activities are ideal for building flexible thinking, early number logic, and quantitative pattern recognition — all essential for NGAT® success. Like our verbal resources, these are optional and can be explored one at a time, at your family’s own pace.

Quantitative Skillbuilder Activities and Games 5 min

4. NGAT® At-Home Skillbuilders | Nonverbal

These resources were carefully curated by The Masterpiece Academy for students enrolled in our NGAT® Prep and Enrichment class, with a focus on strengthening the reasoning skills assessed in the Nonverbal section of the NGAT®. In the NGAT® Nonverbal Reasoning test, children are shown patterns of shapes, colors, or spatial arrangements and are asked to select the option that completes the sequence or matrix. These items measure pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, and the ability to reason using only visual information — without relying on reading, writing, or academic content. Our activities mirror this approach by inviting children to engage in puzzle-solving, pattern completion, and visual matrix tasks that train the same type of abstract reasoning. These are optional, playful, and designed to be accessible for all learners — including multilingual students — since no language is needed to complete them.
