This letter reports the test results and can help you understand her/his scores.  \nWhat does CogAT measure?  \nCogAT measures learned reasoning and problem-solving skills in three different areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. Reasoning skills develop gradually throughout a person’s lifetime and at different rates for different individuals. Reasoning abilities are good predictors of success in school and are important outcomes of good schooling. CogAT does not measure such factors as effort, attention, motivation, and work habits, which also contribute importantly to school achievement.  \nWhy was CogAT administered?  \n• Teachers use CogAT scores to help students learn more effectively. For example, if a student’s score profile shows an uneven pattern of relative strength and weakness, the teacher can provide challenging opportunities for the student to do the kind of thinking he/she does best (building on the student’s strength) . The teacher can also support aspects of new tasks that rely on a student’s relative weakness. When the student has established a foothold in an area, the teacher can guide her/him to develop the relatively weaker reasoning skill by applying this skill to the familiar task (strengthening the student’s weakness) .  \n• The school district will also use the CogATtest results to help identify academically gifted students.  \nHow do the three batteries of CogAT differ?  \n• The Verbal Battery measures flexibility, fluency, and adaptability in reasoning with verbal materials and in solving verbal problems. These reasoning abilities play an important role in reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, and virtually all verbal learning tasks.  \n• The Quantitative Battery measures quantitative reasoning skills; flexibility and fluency in working with quantitative symbols and concepts; and the ability to organize, structure, and give meaning to an unordered set of numerals and mathematical symbols. These reasoning skills are significantly related to problem solving in mathematics and other disciplines.  \n• The Nonverbal Battery measures reasoning using geometric shapes and figures. To perform successfully, students must invent strategies for solving novel problems. They must be flexible in using these strategies and accurate in implementing them.  \nWhat is this student’s relative standing on each battery and the Composite?  \nBecause CogAT is nationally normed, an individual’s test performance can be compared with the test performances of other students throughout the nation who are the same age.  \nThis student’s national age percentile rank of   on verbal reasoning ability means that he/she scored higher than   percent of the students her/his age in the national norming sample. This student’s age percentile rank was   for quantitative reasoning ability and   for nonverbal reasoning ability. The CogAT Composite score is derived from results on the Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal batteries. The Composite national age percentile rank of   is a general statement of this student’s reasoning ability.","cbCainkTejpYRhlM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainkTejpYRhlM","pdf",41881,"English","# What does CogAT measure?\n## Why was CogAT administered?\n# How do the three batteries of CogAT differ?\n## Verbal Battery\n## Quantitative Battery\n## Nonverbal Battery\n# What is this student’s relative standing?\n## National age percentile ranks\n## CogAT Composite","[{\"question\":\"What does the CogAT measure?\",\"answer\":\"CogAT measures learned reasoning and problem-solving skills in verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal areas.
