The CogAT evaluates the level and pattern of cognitive development of students, as well as their abilities in problem solving using verbal, quantitative, and spatial (nonverbal) reasoning. Your child’s test scores are included in this letter; the test results show your child’s ranking within the national percentile for verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning.  \nInterpreting Your Child’s Score  \nAge Percentile Rank  \nPercentile ranks provide a comparison of your child’s performance to that of a national sample of students with the same age, ranking the students on a scale of 1 to 99 . A percentile rank is not the same as the percent correct. For example, a percentile rank of 60 would mean that the student scored higher than 60% of students who are the same age.  \nAge Stanine  \nThe age stanine shows the broad score groupings on a normalized standard scale. They range from 1 to 9, indicating the level of reasoning ability in each area.  \nAbility Profile  \nA CogAT ability profile captures both the patterns and level of a student’s scores on the three CogAT batteries. It includes a student’s median age stanine (their median level of reasoning ability), score pattern indicator, and relative strengths and weaknesses. The ability profile assists with locating specific instructional suggestions for helping the students learn based on the student’s CogAT scores.  \nFor more information on how to interpret your child’s Ability Profile, please visit the Interactive Ability Profile Interpretation System on the web. At this website, you can input your son or daughter's score profile and then read a brief description of his or her learned reasoning abilities as well as instructional suggestions.  \n[http://riversidepublishing.com/products/group/cogat6/anotetoparents.jsp](http://riversidepublishing.com/products/group/cogat6/anotetoparents.jsp)  \nWhat Do These Scores Mean?  \nThe profile of these abilities helps teachers better understand how different students learn best. It is important to note that the test measures a student’s reasoning ability and is not indicative of student achievement. These results are only one small snapshot of a student’s abilities, taken in a narrow time frame. All students can learn; however, they do not all learn at the same rate or in the same way. Test scores are always generalized estimates, rather than exact or absolute measures of a student’s standing; it is important to think of them as representing a range of ability rather than a specific, unchanging point on a score scale. These results should not be interpreted as an absolute measure of student abilities.  \nScores can be used to adapt instruction in ways that enhance the student’s success in learning. Data gathered from both the national and local norms ofthis assessment will be included as one aspect of the multiple measures which help the staff make decisions regarding your child’s instructional needs. The CogAT will also be included as one of the measures used to determine student participation in our programming for gifted students atthe Elementary School during the 2013-­‐2014 school year.
