CogAT Test Tutoring

Before you make a decision about registering your child for the CogAT test, you need to understand what CogAT is. CogAT stands for Cognitive Abilities Test, and it tests through specific multiple-choice questions that measure particular abilities, like verbal, reasoning, quantitative and nonverbal. It was developed by David F. Lohman and Elizabeth P. Hagen is administered by Riverside Insights.

It is an aptitude test administered as an entrance exam for school level gifted programs. The purpose of CogAT is not to test how much a child has learned, rather it is to test a student’s cognitive skills that can make a student academically successful. It measures a student’s potential. Therefore, the questions in CogAT tests include problem-solving and reasoning using several methods like spatial, quantitative, and verbal.

Let’s learn more about the CogAT test in the segments below!

How is cogat administered?

Your child’s age is an important factor for CogAT registration. There are typically fourteen stages in the CogAT test that differ a lot with respect to questioning forms, the number of questions, and the difficulty level that comes in the paper.And, your child’s age decides which stage of CogAT is appropriate. However, there are certain standard features among the fourteen stages in the test, which are;

1. The questions given are in an MCQ or multiple-choice question format.

2. Candidates can take the test through an online platform or on pencil and paper.

3. Students are divided into groups and tested. (They are generally divided into groups of 20).                    

4. The batteries are given together, but students can attempt them individually.

5. There is an invigilator or a test proctor, who can be a school teacher or counselor who will administer the test.

So, this was all about how important CogAT test prep is and how it helps evaluate your child’s potential!

How is CogAT Scored?

So, scoring in CogAT using two methods: age relative and grade relative. The relative age method compares your child scores with other children in the same age bracket/level. And the grade method refers to how your child has scored in the CogAT test as compared to other students in the same grade as them. Both age and grade scores can turn out to be very similar. 

But it has been observed that age norms are more accurate in CogAT. The calculation is done by finding out the raw score first. It is calculated by adding the number of questions that are correctly answered. This raw score is then converted into a universal score to make the student’s score profile.

However, if you are thinking about the passing score on CogAT, then we must tell you that there is no definitive set score. It can differ from school to school or even the school district. So, there is no perfect score that you can achieve on the CogAT test. Every score is unique based on the  child’s capability.

Why does Your Child Need CogAT Prep?

Now, this is a big question. Why does your child need CogAT prep? Well, to take the cogat test, your child needs to be familiar with the type of questions that are asked in the test and the time they need to solve those questions. 

Your child needs to solve some sample papers to get used to the flow. Solving these questions will improve your child’s skills, since it tests your child’s cognitive abilities. So, you must pay close attention to your child’s cogAT preparation and make sure it is done properly.

Also, it would be great if you register your child for online tutoring. Online CogAT tutors can guide your child throughout the preparation process and clarify doubts on the go.

Final Thoughts

This is the end of the blog. We hope this blog has given you more insight into how to tackle the CogAT test and prep your child for CogAT tuitions. Don’t worry about your child passing or failing the test as it is just an aptitude test, and it does not determine their worth. However, let us all hope for the best and good luck for your child’s CogAT test. And don’t forget to let us know how the results have turned out to be.
