What do foot : shoe and hand : glove have in common?
If your child can instantly recognize the connection, they’re already thinking like a gifted one.
The Verbal Analogies section of the CogAT Grade 6 Verbal Battery challenges students to identify relationships between pairs of words and apply that same logic to new situations.
With the Gifted CogAT Test Prep App, your child can now practice this skill through focused, structured, and engaging exercises designed specifically for Grade 6 learners.
In this section, students are presented with one word pair that shares a clear relationship—such as synonym, antonym, part-to-whole, or cause-and-effect—and must select another pair that reflects the same connection. These questions test how well your child understands word meanings, associations, and logical relationships, all of which are essential for higher-level verbal reasoning.
We’ve included 10 free CogAT Verbal Analogy practice questions for Grade 6 below. Each one is crafted to match the format, structure, and challenge level of the real CogAT exam. Use them to gauge your child’s ability to spot word relationships and apply logical thinking.
