CogAT 8th Grade Practice Test

The 8th grade CogAT can be viewed as a culmination of the skills that a student has developed throughout their early school career. The exam tests a student’s ability to solve quantitative, multi-step, math problems, that require focus and process of elimination. Additionally, subtests such as “Verbal Classification”, require that the student uses a “built-in” thesaurus to analyze relationships between words. Activities such as reading, vocabulary flashcards and exposure to conversation are all beneficial for verbal subtests. The Non-Verbal “Figure Matrices” Subtest also tests a student’s ability to view relationships, thought for figures, not words. This subtest requires that the student practice visual imagery, while identifying subtle changes amongst a series of items. Practicing these sets of questions that we offer on our site is an excellent way for your child to gain confidence with this section. Below are a series of sample questions that are similar to the ones that your child will see on the 8th grade CogAT.

can you do 9th grade?

Unfortunately, our CogAT resources only extend to the 8th grade at this time. The concepts will be the same and this a good start to making sure your child understands those concepts.

All the best,
