CoGAT testing is coming up in February. The CoGATs are a cognitive ability test that is
taken on the computer. The test measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in three
different areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. It does not show up on the report
card or affect students’ final grades. This test is used later when helping to select for
the gifted program and is only one piece of the evaluation process (many other aspects
are considered). We will be going over some practice questions in class to help students
prepare.
