         What if I told you that preparing your 3rd grader for the COGAT with confidence-without stress, without confusion, and without feeling overwhelmed-can become your reality?

       If you're worried your child hasn't practiced enough reasoning questions, or you're unsure how well they'll handle the patterns and timing, then training with full-length, exam-accurate practice tests can be your answer.

        It can significantly improve Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal reasoning-because nothing prepares young learners better than practicing with tests that mirror the exact structure and difficulty of the real COGAT Level 9.

       This practice book was created with one clear goal: to simulate the COGAT Grade 3 exam using 15 full-length Level 9 practice tests, each including clear answer explanations so students learn quickly and strengthen weak areas with ease.

        Every test reflects real COGAT logic: Verbal analogies, picture classification, sentence completion, number analogies, number series, figure matrices, figure classification, and pattern completion. Your child will build problem-solving confidence, sharpen visual reasoning, and develop stronger critical thinking skills through consistent practice.

       Whether your student is preparing for gifted placement, advanced programs, or simply wants to improve cognitive skills, these tests provide the repetition and familiarity needed to succeed.

      And they don't need long study sessions. With just 20-30 minutes a day, this system builds confidence without frustration or burnout.

       If you're unsure whether this will help, don't worry. Inside this book you'll find complete COGAT-style exams that show strengths, reveal weaknesses, and clearly indicate how prepared your child is.

        This is perfect for families who want a cost-effective, kid-friendly practice solution without relying on expensive tutoring or confusing worksheets. Whether your child struggles with analogies, number puzzles, spatial patterns, or test pacing, these exams train them to think exactly the way the COGAT expects.

      Here is just a fraction of what you'll discover inside this book:

  15 full-length COGAT Level 9 practice tests matching the real exam
  • Answer explanations written so children can understand the logic
  • A simple 4-week testing plan for structured, consistent practice
  • Balanced coverage of Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal batteries
  • Hundreds of exam-style questions that strengthen reasoning and accuracy
