CogAT Score Interpretation Guide

The Cognitive Abilities Test™ (CogAT®) Form 7 assesses the level and pattern of cognitive development of students from Prep to Year 12, measuring general and specific reasoning abilities in three domains (verbal, quantitative and nonverbal). Because these abilities are closely related to an individual's success in school, CogAT results are helpful in planning effective instructional programs and adapting instruction to enhance students' chances of success in learning.

The CogAT Score Interpretation Guide aids teachers to interpret and use the results of the CogAT Form 7. The Guide covers all levels (5/6-17/18).

It covers:

• Getting Started-Using test results and how to avoid misusing results.
• Adapting Instruction to Students' Needs and Abilities
• Measuring Cognitive Development to Help Identify Academically Talented Students
• Identifying Ability-Achievement Discrepancies
• Communicating Test Results
• Reading Score Reports
