I hate the CogAT
Dear Ms. X,
I have had an opportunity to hand score your daughter's test booklet on the Cognitive Abilities Test. The Verbal Test is made up of two subtests: Oral Vocabulary and Verbal Reasoning for a total of 44 questions. She got 3 questions wrong in oral vocabulary and 1 question wrong in verbal reasoning for a raw score of 40. The Nonverbal Test is made up of two subtests: Figure Classification and Matrices for a total of 44 questions. She got 2 questions wrong in Figure Classification and 1 question wrong in Matrices for a raw score of 41. Her standard age score in verbal was a 122 and her standard age score in nonverbal was a 118. These scores are based on the age of the student.
Since we use only the standard age scores and national percentile scores for our program, those are the only scores we request from Riverside Publishing. Those scores are reported out to parents in our letter. We do not receive any other reports from Riverside. I hope this information has been helpful.
