Newsletter 12-7-12


        Next week your child will be taking the Cognitive Abilities Test™ or CogAT®. This is test is utilized as part of Wawasee's entrance process for high ability education. The CogAT® (Cognitive Abilities Test™) is published by Riverside Publishing, a Houghton Mifflin Company. The test measures students’ reasoning abilities in the three areas that are linked to academic success: Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning. Reasoning is synonymous with learning and problem-solving. CogAT’s measurement of the three reasoning areas helps provide a balanced view of the child’s potential for academic success and provide a more differentiated learning experience.
