The Cognitive Abilities Test, or CogAT, evaluates a child's problem solving and reasoning skills using quantitative, verbal and non-verbal cues. The group-administered test is given to students in grades K-12 and is often used to select students for Gifted and Talented Education programs. The test can also be used to predict future learning abilities and to place students in advanced classes. Learn more about the CogAT with our CogAT Test Guide and in our interviews with CogAT experts Tim Sitar and Robin MacFarlane, PhD.
