What is cogat test?

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is a standardized test designed to measure cognitive abilities in children ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. The test measures three cognitive areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal skills. It consists of multiple-choice questions and is administered in a proctored group setting. The CogAT is often used in schools to identify gifted and talented students, as well as assess student readiness for advanced coursework. The test is not an achievement test, but rather a measure of a student's potential and cognitive ability. The CogAT is one of the most widely used cognitive assessments in the United States and is available in both paper-and-pencil and digital formats.
