The Nelson-Denny Reading Test™ (Forms G & H) is a reliable reading comprehension survey for high school and college students and adults. It measures vocabulary development, comprehension, and reading rate with two equated forms that allow convenient pre- and post-testing of reading progress. It has two forms (Form G and Form H), both of which are parallel forms that have been equated and can be used interchangeably as pretests and post-tests.
 
The Nelson-Denny (Forms G & H) consists of two subtests:
  1. Vocabulary– consists of 80 multiple-choice items, each with five response options. The words were drawn from high school and college textbooks and vary in difficulty.
  2. Comprehension– requires examinees to read five short passages (also drawn from high school and college textbooks) and to respond to 38 multiple-choice questions about the contents of these passages.
