CogAT Scores: Understand Test Results
CogAT scoring is based on your child’s age (not grade level). Your child will receive an SAS, or “Standard Age Score.” This score compares your child’s performance to peers of the same age. The highest SAS attainable on the CogAT is 160. In contrast, 100 represents an average score.
Here are all the steps for calculating a child’s unique test score:
- Raw Score. This total comprises the number of correct answers. Incorrect responses do not lead to deductions from the overall raw score.
- Universal Scale Score (USS). After determining the Raw Score, we convert it into a normalized standard score known as the Universal Scale Score. Additionally, separate USS scores exist for each test’s three verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative reasoning skills subsections, referred to as “batteries.” Consequently, we determine the Composite USS by averaging these three different scores. The USS is a normalized standard score that follows a consistent scale from kindergarten through 12th grade for the CogAT. Moreover, after determining a student’s raw score (the total number of questions answered correctly), we convert it to the USS. This conversion involves statistical procedures to ensure that variations do not influence scores in difficulty across different test forms. It’s important to note that USS scores are calculated for each test’s three batteries: verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative reasoning skills. This provides an evaluator with insight into a student’s strengths and weaknesses across different cognitive abilities.
- Standard Age Score (SAS). The Standard Age Score has a maximum possible score of 160; the average score is 100.
- Percentile Rank (PR). School districts use this number to compare students that share the same age and grade level. A percentile rank of 80 means that child’s score was higher than 80% of students who took the same test. The average percentile rank is 50.
- Stanine (S). A stanine is a very broad, simplified score ranging from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest possible), and it’s normalized for the child’s age and grade level.
Understanding CogAT Scoring
The CogAT scores a student based on their raw score, which represents the total correct answers on the test. Subsequently, they convert this raw score into a scaled score, considering question difficulty, and report it on a scale ranging from 100 to 150. Additionally, scaled scores from the three batteries (verbal, quantitative, nonverbal) combine to form a composite score on the same 100 to 150 scale.
The CogAT is a norm-referenced test. This means scores are compared to those of students of the same age and grade, and percentile rank is used to report scores. It indicates the percentage of students who scored lower than the test-taker. For example, if a student has a percentile rank of 90, it means that they scored better than 90% of students who took the test.
Stanine and Percentile Ranking and Scoring for the CogAT
A range of percentile ranks comprises each stanine. The table below shows the percentile ranks that formulate each stanine and the associated ability level.
| Stanine | Percentile Rank | Description |
| 1 | 1 – 3 | This score is in the lowest 4%, signifying very limited cognitive abilities compared to peers. |
| 2 | 4 – 10 | This score is in the next 7%, still significantly below average and potentially struggling with CogAT cognitive tasks. |
| 3 | 11 – 22 | This score is in the next 12%, indicating below-average cognitive abilities in CogAT testing. |
| 4 | 23 – 39 | This score is in the next 17%, slightly below average but nearing the middle range. |
| 5 | 40 – 59 | This score is in the next 20%, placing students in the middle range with average cognitive abilities compared to peers. |
| 6 | 60 – 76 | This score is in the next 17%, indicating a slight cognitive ability above average in CogAT testing. |
| 7 | 77 – 88 | This score is in the next 12%, signifying above-average cognitive abilities in CogAT testing. |
| 8 | 89 – 95 | This score is in the next 7%, indicating well above-average cognitive abilities in CogAT testing. |
| 9 | 96 – 99 | This score is in the top 4%, signifying very high cognitive abilities compared to peers. |
Remember, they norm-reference these scores and percentiles by comparing an individual student’s performance to a larger sample of students. This method involves comparing a student’s performance to a representative sample. As such, they provide a way of understanding a student’s cognitive abilities relative to other students.

You noted that the highest possible SAS score on the Cogat is 160. How can one explain a child scoring higher than 160?
Hongjin Qiu
My kid has a score of 9E(v-) for the second grade. How is the explaination of the score? High or low? She is 8 years old.
Meg
go to cogat.com for interpretation, 9E means that there might be an error or there is an extreme difference between verbal, nonverbal, etc. 9 is the highest achievement level with 9A being the highest possible
Agnes Trzesniowski
My daughter’s score is 7C(V+).
May you please help me interpret.
Mary
My child scored 8A. Please help me to interpret that. Thank you.
julie
Do you take into account personality and interests, likes/dislikes? Ability to communicate with adults and other children? Passions? Empathy? This is the most cookie cutter approach to understanding a child’s intellect that I’ve ever seen.
TestingMom.com
Hi Julie – the CogAT test doesn’t assess the child’s EQ (emotional intelligence). It’s based solely on the cognitive ability of the child.
sharon
what does it mean when your childs score is unavailable because their birthdate was out of testing range?
edis morales
My kid has a score 4A for the 5 grade, how is the score high or low she is 10 1/2 years old ?
Marls
our child got 5E (N+) which is pretty much what we already knew.
Stacey
I have some questions about the age score. My daughter just took the test, and was 7 years 2 months old at the time. How will this impact her age score? I don’t quite understand how exactly they are coming up with a percentile rank.
For example, if she had a 77 percentile grade score, how does that carry over into an age score? The school says they use whatever is higher between the grade score (2nd) and the age score. We get results in a couple of weeks.
TestingMom.com
Stacey,
When you get the score, please send them to help@testingmom.com You are mentioning a score “77% percentile grade score” which we have not heard used for this test previously and we want to insure we provide accurate information. If you could forward or scan and forward the score, we can help interpret those results for you.
Thank you,
Perry
KAtie
My daughter had no score for the Verbal section and no Composite score, but it shows she attempted all 48 questions of the verbal section. What does that mean?

Please reach out to the administrator of this test. This sounds like it could be an error in their scoring.
Thank you,

Mike
My son has just been accepted into G and T and I am trying to find out what his scores mean.
Primary talent developmental cumulative behavioral scale 63
Cognitive abilities test: verbal/quantitative/nonverbal 95/92/79
Performan ce series reading 73
Performance series math 96
If 100 is average why is he considered G and T if his is 96?
TestingMom.com
Mike, We discussed this on chat the other day, but 100 is not the average when you are comparing National Percentiles. It would be the very top of the scale. If your child scored in the top 5% of children nationally, then that may be the parameter for your District to accept a student to the Gifted Program. This can vary from school district to school district. Please reach out to your district for more information regarding acceptance scores. Congratulations on your child being accepted!
Katherine
What composite score qualifies a student as GATE on the COGAT? Or is it individual scores?
TestingMom.com
Hi Katherine,
Thank you for reaching out to us. This can vary significantly from District to District and we would now know what your school’s cutoff would be. We do recommend reaching out to your School District or GATE administrator for guidance. We see SAS scores from 120 and up and GPR scores of 95 and higher as general guidelines for acceptance, but that is once again, just a guideline.
Thank you,
Perry
Tara
My daughter was tested this spring at her school. They mailed me her results, but I only got her percentiles. They have marked her as High Ability – General Intellectual – Both English Language Arts & Math. So far the school is having her skip 1st grade and will be offering additional services in reading and math. What else should I look into to help challenge her with these scores?
Verbal – 93 percentile
Nonverbal – 96 percentile
Quantitative – 99 percentile
Composite – 99 percentile
TestingMom.com
Tara,
Your child is scoring in the top 1% based on these scores. There is not any real room for improvement. The Composite Score cannot improve to 100%, so I would not make any recommendations as your child scored very well on this test.
Thank you,

Carla,
Please go to www.cogat.com for more information on your child’s scores. You can also reach out to your District or the Administrator of the test for more information on how they graded this test. Your scores do not look “normal” or what we usually see in scoring for this test, so there may be a “custom scale” scoring system at work here.
Thank you,

My child’s chart does not even have a “Standard Age Score” column. Why is this?

Some schools do not share the standard age score, instead they just give you the required information to inform you whether or not your child has qualified for the program. This could be a raw score, percentile ranking or stanine score.

My grandboy profile is 5B. What does that mean good, bad, or needs improvement? I tried to look it up, but I’m tech-illiterate. Thank You for understanding.
S Kartha
I am a dad who just got my fourth grader daughter’s CoGAT results. She is in the 99th percentile with a stanine of 9A. While we are stunned and happy for her, she is in tears thinking she may have to change schools. She loves her school and is upset about missing her favorite friends and teachers. We are in Minnesota.
What does ‘cluster classroom’ mean? The letter says that she will be placed in a cluster classroom.
TestingMom.com
Hi S Kartha,
A cluster classroom is a classroom in which students are pulled from their regular class and placed into a new classroom with other students that have similar abilities. The teacher for this cluster classrooms will typically have some advanced training for teaching students of higher abilities, and the curriculum is more complex.

Hi Sarah,
The Cogat test your son took was for a 4th grader at level 10. The level refers to a number of difficulty. As for the scores, those could be the Raw Scores or the Standard Age Scores. Without seeing the sheet, it is hard to tell what they represent. At the end of the day, these scores were high enough for your son to qualify so congratulations to you both!

Yoshe.
my daughter 7 years old she is 2nd grade she got 89 and 8B. Pls help me understand. Is she passed test?
TestingMom.com
Hi Yoshe,
These scores are very good! They indicate that your daughter scored higher than 89 and 88% percent of all second graders that have taken the CogAT nationwide in the last year!
There really is no passing or failing on the CogAT test. School districts use the test to assess a child’s readiness for their Gifted and Talented program. Each district requires a different standard. I’ve seen districts accept students with a score as low as the 79th percentile, up to the 98th percentile for other districts.
All the best,
Marcus

These are outstanding scores! The percentile represents where your child scored compared to other students in the same grade and age. The verbal score of 84th percentile represents that your child scored higher than 84% of the students that were tested. The same applies for the Quantitative and Nonverbal percentiles.

My child’s school in Texas did not provide an ability profile but SAS scores. Non-verbal 132, verbal 120, and quantitative 142. He was transferred to a different district in Texas, but they said that his SAS score for nonverbal (132) was not in the gifted range because they did their average scoring without using the percentile rank charts or the SAS scores as normative scores. My son is now required to retake the gt test and will not receive gt services for an entire year. When I look at his SAS and percentile rank, his non-verbal scores put him above the 95 percentile. How is it possible that he does not qualify for GT based on these scores? We are shocked by this outcome!
TestingMom.com
From the scores you provided, your child indeed shows significant strength, especially with the non-verbal SAS score of 132 and quantitative score of 142.
Generally, SAS scores of 120 and above are considered above average, and a score above 130 typically places a student in the top 10% of their age or grade level. Given this context, your son’s scores indicate strong cognitive abilities, with his non-verbal score being particularly strong.
Different school districts have varied criteria for identifying and serving gifted and talented (GT) students. While some may use SAS scores or percentile ranks directly, others might employ different assessment measures or have additional identification procedures. It’s possible that the new district has a different set of guidelines or uses a different framework to determine GT eligibility.
Here’s what you can consider doing:
Clarification: Reach out to the new district or school’s GT coordinator or counselor. Request an explanation or a clear breakdown of their GT identification process. Understanding their methodology might provide clarity on why your son’s scores were not considered for GT in this district.
Advocacy: Share your child’s previous accomplishments, awards, teacher recommendations, or any other evidence that shows his gifted abilities. This might provide a more comprehensive picture of his abilities beyond just the CogAT scores.
Re-assessment: As you mentioned, while it might be disheartening to have your son retake the GT test, it could be an opportunity for him to display his abilities according to the new district’s standards. Ask if your son can retake the test when school begins, even if this is an exception.
Alternative Options: Consider exploring supplemental enrichment programs or extracurricular activities outside of school that can cater to your son’s abilities and interests.
MAMTA
Is it possible to use Cogat scores from USA in place of CCAT in Canada to get specialized programes or to get addmission in Gifted schools in canada using Cogat scroes (from USA) if my child has scored 97%?
TestingMom.com
While both the CogAT and CCAT are assessments that measure cognitive abilities, the acceptance of these tests can vary by school district and specific program in Canada. A score of 97% on the CogAT is certainly impressive and could indicate that your child would be well-suited for a specialized or gifted program.
However, we would recommend reaching out directly to the specific schools or programs you’re interested in to confirm whether they accept CogAT scores in lieu of CCAT scores. Some schools may require a Canadian-specific assessment, while others may be more flexible in accepting assessments from other countries. It really varies from district to district.

I highly recommend speaking with your child’s teacher, or school to help you determine what is needed for your child to enter their Gifted Learning Program. Each School District sets up their own entrance requirements based on state standards and how many children are applying. Good Luck!
Catherine
My child scored a 9B whiling being slightly younger than other kids. What does this mean?
TestingMom.com
Hi Catherine!
CogAT levels correspond with the age of the child. For example, a child who is in kindergarten may take the CogAT Form 8, Level 5/6, and a fourth-grader may take CogAT Form 7, Level 10. Most school districts test at a student’s age level. However, some schools and/or school districts test one to two levels above. Be sure to check with your child’s school district to find out what level of CogAT your child will be taking.
At the second-grade level, especially in the spring semester, some schools will use Level 9 rather than Level 8. The CogAT Level 8 is a picture-based test, whereas the Level 9 uses word-based questions for the Verbal portion and number-based questions for the Quantitative portion. Please check with your child’s school to see if the test will be picture-based (Level 8) or word-based (Level 9).
