The CogAT® (Cognitive Abilities Test®) is given in conjunction with the Iowa Assessments, Form E to provide an Ability Profile score that indicates both the level and pattern of a student's ability. These tests can be used to determine eligibility for Gifted and Talented programs. The Level 5/6 test is given to students in Kindergarten. Contact your school for more information about requirements for admission into the Gifted and Talented program at your school.
The CogAT®, Form 7 test was designed so that students who speak any language could be tested. Each session can be completed regardless of native language because all the questions use pictures only. The sentence completion section is optional and can be read to the students in either English or Spanish.
