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

Register your child according to the grade they are in during the 2024/2025 school year.

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