Cognitive Abilities Test

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is a standardized assessment that measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in students. It evaluates three main areas: verbal reasoning (language skills), quantitative reasoning (math and number skills), and non-verbal reasoning (visual and abstract thinking). Schools use CogAT to understand a student's cognitive strengths, identify giftedness, or guide educational planning. The test provides insights into how students think and process information, helping educators tailor instruction to support individual learning needs. It is typically administered to students across various grade levels as a tool for academic assessment and placement decisions.
