This is the CogAt test fundamental training class for the current 4th-graders to prepare for the test in 5th grade. The current 4th-graders will go to take the CogAt test at school in the coming Fall. A student in 5th-Grade who scores with 99 percentile at CogAt will qualify for the SUMMA program in Middle School.
The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is a multiple-choice test designed to measure a child's academic aptitude. It is used to measure cognitive development among children and is often used to identify gifted children for admissions into gifted and talented programs across the United States.
The goal of this class is to let students get familiar with the test format and improve the cognitive and reasoning abilities by training. The verbal skills and some Figure cognitive skills in the CogAt test may take more time to build up, which are the common weak areas for most students.
We have scheduled the complete CogAt fundamental training in Winter/Spring term with a total of 20 1-hour classes from Jan to Jun. We have selected the course material from multiple leading resources. Sunshine provides all materials for students to practice with. The Winter/Spring class focuses more on improving students' reasoning and problem-solving abilities step by step.
Each student in the class will get a test-readiness report at the end of the term.
