(NDRT) Nelson-Denny Reading Test - Forms I & J
Vivian Vick Fishco
Ages: High school to 2-year and 4-year college
Administration: Individual or Group
Test Time: 35 to 56 minutes
The Nelson-Denny Reading Test includes two parallel forms, Form I and Form J, that have been equated and can be used interchangeably as pretests and posttests.
Core Subtests and Composite:
Vocabulary—Students are presented with an opening statement and five answer choices; for example, “A chef works with A. bricks B. music C. clothes D. food E. statues.” Students select the option that best completes the opening statement.
Comprehension—The Comprehension subtest consists of seven reading passages and 36 comprehension questions, each with five answer choices. The reading passages are drawn from current textbooks in Humanities, Science, and Social Sciences. Students are instructed to read as many passages and answer as many comprehension questions as they can.
General Reading Ability—This composite is derived by combining index scores from the Vocabulary and Comprehension subtests to achieve a stronger and more reliable index of overall reading ability.
