Testing Notification
January 11-13
Your child will be taking the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) in class. This test measures both general and specific cognitive abilities, but don't worry, there's nothing to study for!
The CogAT measures developed cognitive abilities, those abilities that start at birth and continue through adulthood. This test will reflect the overall efficiency of cognitive processes and strategies that enable students to learn new tasks or solve problems, especially in the absence of direct instruction. This test measures general thinking and problem solving skills that students have learned through in-school and out of school experiences.
These tests are read a loud to all students, and are paced so that a child does not feel rushed to answer.
If you have any questions regarding the test please feel free to contact:
