Local Scores
Sample recently took the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). CogAT measures the development
of verbal, mathematical, and spatial reasoning abilities that are essential for success in
school. Students with different patterns of scores on CogAT have different learning styles. By
knowing Sample's learning preferences, teachers can help her achieve greater success in
school.
Sample's Profile of Test Scores
Sample's overall performance is in the average range, and her Nonverbal Battery score is
much higher than the score on the Verbal Battery. She has a significant weakness in verbal
reasoning and a significant strength in nonverbal (spatial) reasoning. Whenever a student
shows a relative strength and a relative weakness, the goals for classroom instruction are
M
A
- to encourage the continued development of the strength
- to use the strength to enhance development in the weaker area.
Because verbal reasoning skills are so important to success in school, encourage Sample to
participate in activities that develop her reading, writing, and speaking abilities. Her relative
strength on the Nonverbal Battery may indicate a preference for reasoning with visual
images. Therefore, to strengthen comprehension skills, encourage her to explain what she
imagines while reading or listening. Similarly, encourage her to describe people and places in
her writing.

More Information on Sample's Scores
The sections to the left explain Sample's performance using different types of comparisons
and score scales.
- The Age Scores section compares her performance to students across the nation who are
also 9.6 years old.
- The Grade Scores section compares her performance to students across the nation who
are also in grade 3.
Each of these sections includes one or more scores. The Stanine reports Sample's
performance on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest). The Percentile Rank indicates the
percentage of students in each comparison group whose scores fell below the score obtained
by Sample.
