Preparing for the CogAT Verbal Battery in Grade 8? Here's how to give your child the complete edge. The CogAT Verbal Battery for Grade 8 is designed to evaluate a student's reasoning skills using language—not just vocabulary. It measures how well your child can understand word relationships, categorize concepts, and process information quickly and accurately.
The Gifted app offers thousands of expertly designed questions across all these categories. Your child will not only practice but also learn how to approach each question type strategically. Every question is backed with step-by-step explanations, so your child understands why an answer is correct—or why it isn’t.
We’ve included a free CogAT Verbal Battery Grade 8 Practice Test below. This test covers all three sections of the Verbal Battery and mimics the real testing environment. Use it to benchmark your child’s current ability and identify focus areas for improvement.
