How are author : book and artist : painting connected?
When a child quickly identifies the relationship, they’re demonstrating strong verbal reasoning—not guesswork.
CogAT Grade 6 Verbal Battery evaluates how well students understand relationships between words and apply that logic to new situations. At this level, questions are more layered, requiring students to analyze meaning, context, and connections rather than rely on simple vocabulary recall.
In Verbal Analogy questions, students are shown one word pair with a clear relationship—such as function, category, part-to-whole, or cause-and-effect. They must then select another pair that follows the same pattern. These questions test a child’s ability to recognize underlying logic, compare ideas, and think flexibly with language.
Below, we’ve included 10 free Grade 6 CogAT Verbal Analogy practice questions designed to match the structure and difficulty of the actual Gifted exam. Use this practice set to assess your child’s reasoning approach and comfort with verbal patterns.
