1) Quantitative Battery: Number Puzzles
In the CogAT Number Puzzles subtest, students are presented with mathematical puzzles and sequences. They aim to find missing numbers or patterns. This subtest tests their quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and logical reasoning skills.
Example #1:
In this section, you will be given a mathematical equation. Choose the answer that should replace the ? or the ♾️ symbol.
7 + ♾️ = 18
a. 11 b. 12 c. 1 d. 25 e. 19
2) Non-Verbal Battery: Figure Classification
In the CogAT Figure Classification subtest, students work with abstract shapes or figures. They identify figures that complete patterns or belong to the same group. This subtest assesses non-verbal reasoning, focusing on recognizing visual patterns and relationships. It challenges critical thinking and analytical judgments without relying on language or verbal skills.
Example #2:
Parent say to your child: Look at the first three figures. They go together in some way. Choose one more figure in the rest of the row that goes with the first three figures in the same way.

3) Verbal Battery: Verbal Analogy
In the CogAT Verbal Analogy subtest, students encounter word pairs with specific relationships. They must then identify similar relationships in other word pairs. This assesses verbal reasoning and the ability to recognize and apply word and idea relationships. It also requires critical thinking and making linguistic connections to evaluate language-based reasoning abilities.
Example #3:
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.
Physician is to illness as dentist is to _______.
A. cavity B. drill C. chair D. tootpaste E. floss
4) Quantitative Battery: Number Series
In the CogAT Number Series subtest, students face number sequences and patterns. Their task is to recognize the rule governing the sequence and predict the next numbers accordingly. This subtest evaluates their numerical relationship recognition, logical deduction, and mathematical problem-solving abilities. It challenges critical and analytical thinking within numerical patterns, providing 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 choices below.
72 64 56 48 40 ___
A. 30 B. 31 C. 32 D. 33 E. 34
5) Non-Verbal Battery: Paper Folding
In the CogAT Paper Folding subtest, students view images of paper folding and hole punching. Their main task is predicting the final outcome upon unfolding. This subtest assesses mental visualization, understanding spatial transformations, and making logical deductions from visual information. Overall, it challenges critical thinking.
Example #5:
Parents say to your child: 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) a
2) D – Same figure rotated
3) A
4) C – Subtract 8
