What is the CogAT?
The Cognitive Ability Test (CogAT) is a widely used group administered ability test. First developed and published in 1954 as the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence test, it has been revised several times over the years. It is often used to identify gifted students and helps the parent understand their children’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses and learning styles. These tests can be administered by someone with at least a BA degree.  Free Report for Parents (click here). 
  
What is tested on the CogAT?
The assessment consists of three batteries which measure three reasoning abilities: sequential reasoning, inductive reasoning, and quantitative reasoning. 
  • Verbal Reasoning
    • verbal classification
    • sentence completion
    • verbal analogies
  • Figural Reasoning

CogAT/OLSAT Practice Test
The practice test for the CogAT and OLSAT is available for grades 2 – 12. This short practice test gives students an idea of what to expect on test day and it will increase their confidence in taking either the CogAT or OLSAT test. A few practice questions are given as examples of the types of questions on the CogAT and OLSAT and answers are provided in the Directions for Administration manual. Students actually practice bubbling in their answers and the Directions for Administration manual contains script similar to that on the actual tests. The practice tests are untimed.  Click here for more about the CogAT/OLSAT Practice Test.
