COGAT TESTING--Kindergarten and First grade
What is CogAT
An ability test that measures student’s developed reasoning and problem solving skills; both general and specific. The test is given to Kindergarten and Second grade in Little Elm. The test consists of three battery tests- Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal. There are 3 subtests on each battery for a total of nine subtests. We try not to stress too much emphasis on testing with our young learners. This is not something we prep students on as it is designed to measure innate skills and not what they have learned in class. It is pretty low key as we view the information from this assessment as another piece of data that helps us learn more about our students.
