Dear Families of 2nd and 5th Grade Students,

In September, your student will take the Cognitive Abilities Test™ (CogAT®). The purpose of this letter is to inform

you about the test so that—with your support and encouragement—your student will do his or her best on the test.

About CogAT

CogAT measures students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas most closely related to success in school:

· The Verbal Battery measures students’ abilities to reason with words and concepts. These reasoning

abilities play an important role in reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, and virtually all verbal

learning tasks.

· The Quantitative Battery measures students’ abilities to reason with quantitative symbols and

concepts. These reasoning skills are significantly related to problem solving in mathematics and other

disciplines.

· The Nonverbal Battery measures students’ abilities to reason with geometric shapes and figures. To

perform successfully, students must accurately implement strategies for solving novel problems.

The three separate batteries provide a broad perspective on each student’s learned reasoning abilities, identifying

cognitive strengths and weaknesses.The students take the test on the computer.

This test is given as part of our high ability screening. The different parts of the screening take place throughout the

school year. Identification for the program occurs in April, and identification emails will go out through ParentSquare

in May. Test scores from the CogAT will be available in Skyward under Test Results after testing. Please visit our

website for more information on the assessments that we give in our district: https://www.perryschools.org/for-

parents/assessments/. Please send any questions to Kim Jovic at kjovic@perryschools.org.
