Important Update: CogAT transition to online format.

Important update regarding the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT).

As part of our commitment to providing the most efficient and reliable assessment tools, ACER is transitioning to an online-only format for the CogAT. This means that we will no longer be supporting paper hand-scoring materials and hardcopy versions of CogAT will be phased out.

Please note:

  • Stock of paper-based CogAT is limited, so if you need any remaining copies, now is the time to order!
  • ACER's Test Scoring and Analysis (TSA) will continue to support you until December 31, 2025.

The CogAT is now online - click here to find out more.

Hard-copy materials are while stocks last. If you require hard-copy materials that are unavailable please contact us for more information.

Purpose: To assess students’ reasoning abilities to provide guidance around instructional decisions and strategies

Age: Prep to Year 12

Administration: Group

By measuring three separate cognitive domains, the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) provides a broad perspective on a student by identifying strengths and weaknesses other instruments would miss.

The three cognitive domains include:

  1. Verbal reasoning abilities
  2. Quantitative reasoning abilities
  3. Non-verbal reasoning abilities

Key Features

  • High reliability and validity ensure educators can trust the results, even for high-stakes decision-making
  • ELL-friendly test construction provides equity and fairness
  • Unique Ability Profiles are linked to instructional strategies, enabling teachers to adapt instruction to each student’s learning preferences
  • Provides a reliable and valid measure when determining eligibility for gifted and talented programs
  • New Screening Form option offers shorter administration time for a quick data point
  • Maximises identification of students across all subgroup populations
  • Offers a choice of administration modes so that educators may select the option that best suits their needs
  • Greatly expanded ancillary resources provide opportunities for professional development and help to get the most out of testing
  • Attractive and colourful design engages students
  • Addition of more rigorous items at each level measures a broad range of abilities at each level.
