Cognitive Abilities Test (COGAT)
Starting next week, Second and Fourth Graders will be administered the COGAT test. The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) are administered to all students in 2nd and 4th grades. This exam provides information about the level and pattern of cognitive development of students that may not be captured by grades or other academic measures. The test measures general and specific reasoning abilities which are influenced by both in school and out of school experiences. It provides information on a student’s ability to learn new tasks and solve problems. These abilities are assessed in three ways: Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal. The verbal exam measures verbal inductive and deductive reasoning skills and includes items such as: verbal classification, sentence completion, and verbal analogies. The quantitative portion of the exam includes quantitative relations, number series, and equation building. The Nonverbal test presents novel problems to students using geometric shapes and figures in which students must use strategies for dealing with new material. CogAT tests will be administered the week of February 22nd. For more information regarding CogAT tests go to http://www.riversidepublishing.com/products/cogAT7/learnmore.html
