Questions parents ask
What score is needed for a gifted program?
Districts set their own cut-offs; many use a composite or single-battery score at or above the 95th–97th percentile.
How is the CogAT different from an achievement test?
It measures reasoning with words, numbers and shapes rather than taught content, so practice is about recognising the question types and working systematically.
