CogAT 4th Grade Practice Test
Wondering what kinds of questions your child will face on the 4th-grade CogAT? These sample questions provide a clear view of the types of verbal, quantitative, and non-verbal reasoning skills your child will need to succeed. Each example is designed to closely reflect the format and content of the most current CogAT versions—Forms 7 and 8. We have more practice questions at CogAT Practice Questions
1) Quantitative Battery: Number Puzzles
In the CogAT Number Puzzles subtest, students will encounter a series of mathematical puzzles and number sequences. Consequently, their objective is to identify the missing number or sequence pattern needed to complete each puzzle. This subtest effectively challenges their quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills by presenting numerical patterns and tasks that demand critical thinking and logical reasoning.
Example #1:
In this number puzzles section, students receive a mathematical equation. Choose the answer that should replace the ? or the ℑ symbol.
(4 + 7) + 10 = (10 + ℑ) + 4
a. 0 b. 3 c. 2 d. 5 e. 7
2) Non-Verbal Battery: Figure Classification
In the CogAT Figure Classification subtest, students will encounter a set of abstract shapes or figures. Their primary task is to identify the figure within the set that either completes a specific pattern or belongs to the same group as the given figures. This subtest is designed to assess the student’s non-verbal reasoning skills, particularly focusing on their ability to recognize patterns and relationships among visual elements. Furthermore, it challenges the student to think critically and make analytical judgments based on visual information, all without relying on language or verbal skills.
In the figure classification section, the child is shown 3 figures on the left that are related in some way. The child must choose the right answer that matches the first three figures in exactly the same way.
Example #2:
Parent say to your child: The first 3 figures on the left relate to each other in some way. Find a figure on the right of the line that goes with the first 3 figures in exactly the same way.
3) Verbal Battery: Verbal Analogy
In the CogAT Verbal Analogy subtest, students will be presented with pairs of words that exhibit a specific relationship or similarity. Subsequently, their task is to identify another pair of words from multiple-choice options that demonstrates a similar or analogous relationship to the original pair. This subtest assesses the student’s verbal reasoning skills and their ability to recognize and apply relationships between words and ideas. Additionally, it requires the student to think critically and establish linguistic connections, thereby offering valuable insights into their language-based reasoning abilities.
Example #3:
Parent say to your child: The first two words in the sentences below go together in a certain way. Choose the answer that goes with the third word in the sentence the same way that the first and second words go together.
Shoot is to shot as feed is to ______.
A. food B. hungry C. meat D. fed E. eat
4) Quantitative Battery: Number Series
In the CogAT Number Series subtest, students will encounter a sequence of numbers or mathematical patterns. Consequently, their objective is to identify the underlying rule or pattern governing the sequence. Then, they must predict the next number or numbers in the sequence based on that rule. This subtest effectively assesses the student’s ability to recognize numerical relationships, make logical deductions, and apply mathematical reasoning to solve problems. Furthermore, it presents a challenge to the student to think critically and analytically within the context of numerical patterns and sequences, ultimately offering insights into their quantitative reasoning skills.
Example #4:
Look at the numbers in each row below. There is a rule that governs the order in which the numbers occur in the series. Figure out the rule and then choose the number that comes next from the answer choice below.
12.5 11.5 10.5 9.5 8.5 ___
A. 6.5 B. 7.5 C. 8.5 D. 9.5 E. 10.5
5) Non-Verbal Battery: Paper Folding
In the CogAT Paper Folding subtest, students view images of paper folding and hole punching. Consequently, their primary task is to predict the final outcome of the paper once it is unfolded. This subtest assesses the student’s ability to mentally visualize and comprehend spatial transformations, including complex folding and hole-punching actions. Furthermore, it requires the student to make logical deductions based on visual information. Overall, this subtest challenges critical thinking and visual data analysis. It is a crucial part of the CogAT for non-verbal assessment.
Example #5:
On the top row, you will see how a square piece of paper is folded sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes three times. Holes are then punched after the paper has been folded. Choose the answer in the second row that shows how the folded piece of paper would look after it is unfolded.
Answers:
1) e
2) D – 3 circles inside of a shape
3) D
4) B – Subtract 1
5) D
