CogAT verbal Classification Grade 8

The Gifted Test Prep App is designed to sharpen your child’s verbal reasoning through targeted practice in Classification questions—a key part of the Verbal Battery in CogAT Grade 8. 

Verbal Classification questions assess a student’s ability to recognize relationships between words. Students are presented with three words that are alike in some way, and they must choose the word from the answer choices that fits the same group. This section measures how well your child understands word groupings, vocabulary, and logical connections between concepts. 

Our goal is simple: to prepare your child for success not just on the CogAT, but also for tests like OLSAT and CCAT. Practicing with Classification questions is a great way to improve both verbal logic and vocabulary retention—essential skills for high academic performance. 

We’ve included 10 free sample Verbal Classification questions for CogAT Grade 8 below. These questions represent the type of logic and reasoning your child will encounter in the actual exam. Use these samples to get a clear idea of your child’s current verbal strengths—and what areas may need improvement.
