The test is standardizes at a national level, and is commonly used across the US as part of the screening process for highly capable programs.
Unlike the ITBS, the CogAT is a cognitive abilities test, which means it aims to measure students' raw reasoning skills, apart from any learned material. The CogAT is administered in grades K–12 and is made up of three segments or 'batteries': Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal. Each battery measures specific problem solving skills that are indicative of students' potential for academic success.
