Field Elementary School issued the following announcement on Oct. 23.
Next week, second and fifth grade Field students will take the verbal and quantitative battery of the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). The CogAT provides a snapshot of your child’s abilities in the areas of verbal and quantitative functioning.
The verbal battery assesses verbal inductive reasoning, problem solving and verbal comprehension. The quantitative battery measures general abstract reasoning skills; particularly inductive reasoning and specific mathematical reasoning skills. The nonverbal battery assesses inductive reasoning skills. If you would like a better understanding of this assessment, you can find information from the publisher at www.cogat.com.
