It's not like a spelling or a math test where if you know the words or the facts you can get 100% . There is no defined curriculum for the CogAT. It is a norm-referenced test and the national average is 50th percentile. There are three parts to the CogAT: Verbal Battery, Quantitative Battery, and Non-Verbal Battery.  \nVerbal Battery  \nThe Verbal Battery tests a student's vocabulary, as well as his/her comprehension of ideas, efficiency and verbal memory, and ability to discover word relationships. Statistics show a high correlation between high verbal ability and success in a variety of school subjects.  \nThree sub-tests are administered in the verbal section. Each test has approximately 20 questions and the student is given ten minutes to complete each sub-test. These three sub-tests comprise the verbal score.  \nVerbal Classification  \nThe student is given a list of three words that are alike in someway. The student is asked to choose a word, from a selection of five words, that is also alike in the same way.  \nExample: green blue red.  \nChoices: color; crayon, paint, yellow, rainbow.  \nSentence Completion  \nThe student is given a sentence with a word left out and is asked to choose a word that makes the best sense in the sentence. Example: Apples on trees.  \nChoices: fall; grow; show; bloom; spread.  \nVerbal Analogies  \nThe student is given three words in dark type. The first two words go together. The third word goes with one of the answer choices. The student is asked to choose the word that goes with the third word the same way that the second word goes with the first.  \nExample: new (is to) old : wet (is to)  \nChoices: rain; drip; hot; sun; dry .  \nQuantitative Battery  \nThe Quantitative Battery tests the student's quantitative reasoning and problem solving ability and provides an appraisal of the student's general level of abstract reasoning.  \nThree tests are administered in the quantitative battery. The first test has twenty-five questions and students are given 8 minutes to finish. The second has 20 questions with a 10 minute testing time. The third has fifteen questions with a 12 minute testing time.  \nQuantitative Relations  \nThe student is given two problems numbered one and two with three answer choices. The student is to solve the two problems and determine if the answer is greater, less than, or equal to. Example: 1. 0+3 2. 3+0  \nChoices: a) 1 is greater than 2; b) 1 is less than 2; c) 1 is equal to 2.  \nNumber Series  \nThe student is given a series of numbers and is asked to decide which number should come next in the series.  \nExample: 5; 10; 15; 20  \nChoices: 25; 30; 35; 40; 45.  \nEquation Building  \nThe student is given numbers and signs. The student is asked to combine the numbers and signs to get a solution that is an answer choice.  \nExample: 1 2 3-x  \nChoices: 1; 2; 3; 4; 6.  \nNon-Verbal Battery  \nThe Nonverbal Battery presents the most novel problems to students. The items on these tests use only geometric shapes and figures that have had little direct relationship to formal school instruction. The tests require no reading. The nonverbal battery is particularly suitable for obtaining an accurate estimate of development for students who have difficulty with reading, who have limited competency in English, or who have limited opportunities. The tests in the nonverbal battery are between fifteen and twenty-five questions each and students are given ten minutes for each test.  \nFigure Classification  \nThe student is given three figures that are alike in some way. They are given three answer choices and five pictures to choose from. They are asked to decide which figure goes best with the three answer choices.  \nExample: The student is given three items that are odd shaped but each one has 4 sides and is black.  \nChoices: a black circle; a black triangle; a 4 sided white object; a black 4 sided object; six-sided white object.  \nFigu","cbCaiv3y0MWZBW8E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv3y0MWZBW8E","pdf",1317173,5,"English","# CogAT Overview\n## Test Structure and Scoring Basis\n## Verbal Battery\n### Verbal Sub-Tests and Examples\n## Quantitative Battery\n### Quantitative Sub-Tests and Examples\n## Non-Verbal Battery\n### Non-Verbal Sub-Tests and Examples","[{\"question\":\"What is the CogAT and what skills does it measure?\",\"answer\":\"CogAT is a reasoning-skills test.
