CogAT 6th Grade Practice (Level 12)
Sixth graders take CogAT Level 12, where reasoning becomes abstract and multi-step across all three batteries. At this level, gains come from fixing the two or three skills that cost the most points and practicing under realistic conditions with explanations.
The 6th Grade question types
| Battery | What your child will see |
|---|---|
| Verbal | Abstract analogies, sentence completion with academic vocabulary, and precise classification |
| Quantitative | Number series with complex rules, number analogies, and equation and number puzzles |
| Nonverbal | Figure matrices, figure classification, and paper folding with rotation |
