COGAT Grade 3

We found this book helpful for Grade 3 CogAT practice. The questions are clear and similar to what kids see on the test. It’s easy to follow and works well for short daily practice. My child liked it and didn’t feel overwhelmed. Overall, a good resource for extra practice at home

I hate COGAT. I hate that we test our kids to death and that the majority of people don't seem to understand math well enough to recognize the flaws and limitations of these tests as being predictive of an individual's cognitive abilities. That being said, we must all navigate the system we have rather than the one we wish were in place. This was a good book to help kids understand the format of COGAT. If you are not familiar with it, COGAT is intended to measure how well students can think and reason rather than measure mastery of content as typical tests do. As a result, a lot of kids are thrown off by the format and fail to perform their best. Going through this workbook helps kids understand the system so they can do their best.

This is a really good workbook, even if you're just using it for extra learning practice. The exercises are well-structured and help build critical thinking skills. It’s a great way to get familiar with the test format while also reinforcing problem-solving strategies. Definitely a useful resource for third graders!

The book is sturdy without printing errors. There were 2-3 that I could not figure out. The explanations are helpful for the few that exist. The answer key is not as organized as it could be. It is jammed together. There are many examples of pattern matching and math problems. The total time to complete the book must have been 5-6 hours split up over several days. It was useful time spent. The outcome of using this book is understanding the format and learning ways to solve problems by recognizing the type of questions. Essentially, children should gain confidence by learning how recognize question types and how to solve them when encountered on the test. My daughter was 75th percentile on CogAT in grade 2 (level 8 I believe) the year before. I bought that level of this publisher’s prep book, which arrived only two days before the test that we scheduled on short notice. Two days was insufficient and it would not be enough time to complete this book. So I got this book at least a month before the next year’s assessment. She ran through it all before taking it in school in 3rd grade fall, which I could do because she was new to that school system. She scored 97th percentile overall and the lowest was 96th for one part. So my recommendation is to get the book, and my feedback to the publisher is to organize the answer key better.

Kid loves this book!

My son did 100 on GATE test, all questions was from this book

When my kiddo finished the two hours of CogAT testing for entrance into the Gifted Program I asked her how it went. She told me it was easy and just like the workbook. I wish I’d ordered it a little sooner than a few days before the test because we didn’t get through the whole thing. We had started with the second grade booklet and then moved to the third grade. This workbook helped familiarize us with the concepts in cognitive testing and helped my child focus on actually solving the problems versus wondering what the heck was going on with these types of questions. She scored in the 99th percentile and was admitted to the gifted program.

Very effective and up to the point. Has answers in the back. That can be more detailed. One or two questions were wrong but overall a great buy.

The first couple pages are important for parents to read and allow us to know the task required for the kids before examining the problems. I like how parents can understand the concept before the kids dive into the questions. The colours and simpicity of the questions help my kids visualize. Will recommend for use.

content of book is vary helpful to my grade 3 kid to improve a lot in his math skills and language skills.

Good book very interesting

Not as expected relatively

I bought 4 COGAT book and none of them met my expectation. However this is the worst among four of them. Don't waste your money. I wish I can return it, unfortunately I missed the deadline.
