CogAT® Practice Questions for Grade 3 – Figure Classification

We know that as parents, you yearn to see your little one’s potential reach full bloom. That’s why many caregivers like you are eager to make their child a part of a gifted and talented program as it paves the way for an exceptional learning experience. The nurturers leave no stone unturned in their efforts to ensure that their precious performs well in the CogAT. They understand the importance of this assessment in identifying their school goer’s cognitive strengths and areas for improvement.

The gifted test evaluates students across three batteries, each revealing a distinct aspect of their intellectual capabilities.

• Verbal battery: Assesses a child’s language and verbal reasoning skills.
• Quantitative battery: Explores mathematical aptitude and numerical reasoning.
• Nonverbal battery: Evaluates abstract reasoning and problem-solving without relying on language.

In this blog, we’ll delve into a subset of CogAT’s nonverbal battery-figure classification. In this section, third graders are presented with a series of shapes, designs, or figures and are tasked with recognizing patterns and similarities among them. By studying visual cues and making connections, children develop their spatial reasoning and critical thinking skills. This further encourages creativity and problem-solving as kids think outside the box to identify relationships between the figures.
