CogAT Cognitive Abilities Test Preparation

CogAT Cognitive Abilities Test Preparation
Each level of the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT/CAT) measures a student's learned reasoning and problem solving abilities in three areas linked to academic success in school: Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal (spatial) symbols. The CogAT assessment test is often used as a GATE exam to help educators select students for Gifted and Talented programs and Advanced Placement programs. (Riverside Publishing)

We offer books and software to prepare students for the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT/CAT).



Reasoning abilities have substantial correlations with learning and problem solving, both in and out of school. CogAT’s measurement of three different content domains ensures that educators receive a balanced view of the child. For the Primary Edition (Levels K-2), two different subtests measure each reasoning ability. The Multilevel Edition (Levels A-H) uses three different subtests to measure each ability.

Primary Edition (Levels K-2) uses two different subtests to measure each reasoning ability:

    Verbal Aptitude:
  • Oral Vocabulary
  • Verbal Reasoning
    Quantitative Aptitude:
  • Relational Concepts
  • Quantitative Concepts
    Non-Verbal Aptitude:
  • Figure Classification
  • Matrices


Multilevel Edition (Levels A-H) uses three different subtests to measure each ability:

    Verbal Aptitude:
  • Verbal Classification
  • Sentence Completion
  • Verbal Analogies
    Quantitative Aptitude:
  • Quantitative Relations
  • Number Series
  • Equation Building
    Nonverbal Aptitude:
  • Figure Classification
  • Figure Analogies
  • Figure Analysis

CogAT Cognitive Abilities Test Detailed Description
The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) measures students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas most linked to academic success in school: Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal Reasoning. Although its primary goal is to assess students’ reasoning abilities, CogAT can also provide predicted achievement scores when administered with The Iowa Tests. While CogAT is well-suited to help educators make important student placement decisions, such as selecting students for Gifted and Talented programs and Advanced Placement programs, exclusive features such as the Ability Profile Score can be used to expand the educational opportunities of all students.
