CUSD Community Education

This test is the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) consisting of three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Non-verbal Reasoning.  It is a paper/pencil, multiple choice assessment administered by a certified proctor.

Register your child according to the grade they are in during the 2023/2024 school year.  This test is for students who are CURRENTLY enrolled in Kindergarten.

ALL students first enroll on a waitlist - the waitlist does NOT mean the testing session is full.

All testing will take place at Knox Gifted Academy: 700 W. Orchid Lane, Chandler, AZ 85225.

Parents are not permitted in the testing room; a classroom for waiting will be available. 

To maintain a safe testing environment, the following precautions will be put in place:

• Staggered start times have been established to limit the number of people entering the campus at one time.
• Only one adult should accompany the student.
• It is strongly recommended that siblings do not attend.
• Masks are optional.
• There will be a designated room for parents to sign-in and wait for the duration of testing.
• Testing takes approximately 90 minutes.
• Parents are welcome to leave the campus and return closer to the end of the test session.
• Please bring a water bottle for your student.
• Please do not attend the session if you or your child are feeling ill, please do not attend testing. Instead, please contact me to discuss options for rescheduling. Any person who is visibly exhibiting these symptoms will be asked to leave the facility.
