Therefore, the unfolded paper will have two star cut-outs. Then a star is cut out of the folded paper. Choice 3 – First the square paper is folded in half width-wise. The only answer choice that shows this number of books is answer choice 1, which is the correct answer. How many books do we need to put in the car with the question mark so that both trains will carry the same number of books? We need to put one book in the car, because 2 + 1 = 3. Choice 1 – In the first train there are three books. We are left with the bread knife as the best possible answer, therefore it is the correct choice. The hammer and the wrench cannot be used for cutting, so they are not correct answers. The correct answer should be a similar item. All these items can be used to cut things. Choice 2 – Look at the first three pictures. Choose the picture that shows how the paper looks when it is opened. How many books should we put on the second train to make it carry the same number of books as the first train? We need to make the two trains carry the same number of books. Look at the trains on the first and second row. Which picture on the right goes best with the pictures on the left? The three pictures on the left are like each other in some way. Finally, the third question is known as paper folding and belongs to the non-verbal battery. The second question is a classic example of the quantitative battery.
For the earlier grades, the instructions come in the form of audio or mostly images because children are still developing the ability to read. The first question belongs to the verbal battery. After your child has read through some of our explanations, you will notice that they become more familiar with the questions and in time, will not even need explanations or other strategies.
This way, you can track your child's progress throughout the learning period and compare. You can retake all of our tests as many times as you want. Our practice packs and questions contain detailed explanations especially written for either students that could not succeed answering the question, or simply want to learn a strategy that is easy, intuitive, and explained succinctly. However, in order to rule out answer choices, it is best if you understand precisely what you are looking (and in order to do so, you need to practice). For example, some questions can be answered faster if you rule out the possible answer choices (method of elimination). If you need to develop the second skill, you need to understand the tricks that will save you time the day of the test. In order to obtain the first skill, it is enough to practice many questions. The second is whether you can solve everything in time. Whenever you or your child approach a test, there are two elements to consider. The first is how well you can answer the questions. Additionally, without enough practice, you cannot develop the skills that will allow you to answer the questions in the same time constraint. This is why our practice pack contains questions covering all the batteries and, in particular, all the sub-tests.Įach sub-test can be challenging for someone who has not seen the test before. The best thing you can do to succeed in the test is be prepared and know what type of questions to expect. The CogAT is a test where the questions require a special reasoning. The CogAT measures cognitive abilities and each of its batteries has in it three different sub-tests. The CogAT test is divided into three batteries known as: Verbal Battery, Nonverbal Battery, and Quantitative Battery.
