The verbal battery measures how well the student is able to learn and solve problems related to words. The quantitative battery measures your child’s ability to apply numerical concepts. The nonverbal battery assesses skills in using figures and pictures to solve problems.  \nLike any test, the CogAT measures only some of your child’s skills, and the results represent his or her performance on the day the test was given. Therefore, these scores are only one estimate of his or her true ability. Test scores should never be used alone to make decisions about services or supports, but they can be helpful when interpreted along with other information.  \nIn Gurnee School District 56, CogAT results are used as one of several measures to determine placement in the Advanced Academics Program. CogAT results for your child are reported on the Profile Narrative. The Profile Narrative also includes an explanation about the test.  \nHere is an explanation of some terms you will find on your child’s Profile Narrative report:  \n● Composite Scores show an overall picture of performance based on your child’s pattern of scores across all three batteries (verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal) .  \n● Age Scores show your child’s performance compared to a national sample of students who are of similar age.  \n● Grade Scores show your child’s performance compared to a national sample of students in the same grade.  \n● Standard Age Scores (SAS) show your child’s raw score is converted to a consistent scale. Standard Age Scores range from 50 to 160, with 100 being the middle score .  \n● Percentile Ranks indicate the percentage of students in the same group (age or grade) whose scores fall below the score your child received. Percentile Ranks range from a low of 1 to a high of 99. For example, a PR of 45 would mean that your child performed as well as, or better than, 45 percent of the students in the comparison group.  \n[www.cogat.com contains](www.cogat.com contains) even more information about how to interpret specific scores.  \nSincerely,  \nGurnee School District 56  \nQueridos padres y guardianes:  \nLa Prueba de Habilidades Cognitivas (CogAT) , esta prueba mide las habilidades de razonamiento de los estudiantes en tres áreas: razonamiento verbal, no verbal, y cunatitivo.
