Nelson-Denny

The Nelson-Denny test measures reading comprehension, reading expediency, and vocabularly retainment for students looking to enter or re-enter high school or college-level programs. The exam lasts 35 minutes, with an additional 21 minutes added for students in need of extra-time. The exam features comprehension passages taken from current high school and college level texts and fits national norms for high schools, and two and four year colleges.
