The Cognitive Abilities Test™ (CogAT®) reflects the most current industry research in the measurement of cognitive abilities and learning styles. The CogAT Test measures the level and pattern of cognitive development of a student compared to age mates and grade mates. These general reasoning abilities, which start developing at birth and continue through early adulthood, are influenced by experiences gained both in and out of school.
The CogAT measures three different cognitive abilities.
The verbal section measures a child’s ability to remember and transform sequences of English words, to understand them and to make inferences and judgments about them.
The quantitative section measures a child’s understanding of basic quantitative concepts and relationships.
The non-verbal section measures reasoning using pictures and geometric shapes. This section reduces the impact of language on the student’s score.
The composite score is a total score for all three batteries.
