Why CogAT?
For the 2024-25 school year, CogAT is approved by the ODEW for use in the identification of students with superior cognitive ability and as the intelligence component in the identification of students with creative thinking ability. The CogAT Verbal (V) and Quantitative (Q) batteries have also been approved for prescreening students for gifted ability.

Our output is personalized
Students, parents, and teachers can create individualized learning pathways.
We aim for programmatic results
Our innovative method empowers educators to strengthen their programs, delivering better outcomes year over year.
