CogAT Testing 


Our district requires additional information on the academic needs and performance of individual children in order to ensure that the school corporation is providing instruction at the appropriate level for each child. All kindergarten and second grade students will take the screener the week of March 30th. This screener is a short 40 minute test.

Please refer to the website below for practice and sample questions:
