Can your child quickly spot what connects—or separates—shapes in a set?
That’s exactly what the Figure Classification section of the CogAT Grade 6 Nonverbal Battery is designed to test.
In this part of the exam, students are shown three figures that share a common pattern or characteristic, and they must choose the fourth figure that fits that same rule. It’s all about visual logic, pattern recognition, and analytical reasoning—without relying on words or numbers.
With the Gifted CogAT Test Prep App, your child can practice hundreds of Figure Classification questions that mirror the structure and difficulty level of the actual Gifted exam. Each question strengthens visual reasoning, helps identify shape patterns, and trains the brain to think in organized, logical ways.
We’ve included 10 free CogAT Figure Classification practice questions for Grade 6 below. These samples are designed to reflect the exact thinking process needed to solve Nonverbal Battery questions confidently and efficiently.

Practicing Figure Classification regularly builds sharper observation and quicker decision-making skills. Students begin to recognize how shapes change, rotate, or relate to one another, improving both accuracy and speed. This type of reasoning isn’t just useful for the CogAT—it’s a cornerstone of strong problem-solving in math, science, and everyday logic.
The Gifted CogAT Prep App helps your child master Nonverbal reasoning through structured practice across all key areas—Figure Classification, Figure Matrices, and Paper Folding. Each practice set includes step-by-step solutions and feedback, so your child learns to think visually and strategically.
