Class Details:
The verbal reasoning portion of the CogAT examination is designed to provide a diverse perspective of the student’s ability to recall and manipulate sequences of words in order to use them to make effective inferences. Through our dynamic, multi-sensory approach to preparing for the CogAT verbal battery, our instructor will engage your child in stimulating learning activities while helping them develop and master the skills necessary to be successful on this portion of the exam.
Students will be able to build and create their answers in a fun environment, which will both increase comprehension and maximize retention of knowledge and skills. As one of the leading sources of gifted and talented identification criteria in the country, CogAT has an established reputation for effectively defining cognitive ability.
We encourage you to invest in your student’s future by allowing our instructors to help them unlock their full potential so that their performance on test day is the most accurate reflection of their capabilities.
