CogAT Level 11 study plan

Map the CogAT Level 11 verbal battery structure (picture analogies, sentence completion, picture classification) and write a one-page summary of what each task requires

Define and memorize 60 grade-6-level vocabulary words drawn from analogies practice, recording part of speech and a personal example sentence for each

Solve 20 picture-analogy items untimed and label the relationship type (category, function, part-whole, degree, opposite) for every pair

Establish a timed baseline: complete one 20-question verbal set in 15 minutes and log accuracy and elapsed time

Practice sentence-completion items by predicting the missing word before reading the answer choices, 25 items total

Build a 30-word synonym and antonym cluster chart to speed up elimination on verbal items

Drill picture-classification items by naming the shared attribute of the majority group before choosing the odd one out, 20 items

Review every missed item from weeks 1-2 and write the reason for the error in one sentence each

Map the quantitative battery (number analogies, number puzzles, number series) and write the solving routine for each task type

Solve 25 number-series items by testing difference, ratio, alternating, and square/cube patterns in a fixed order

Solve 20 number-analogy items by stating the arithmetic rule linking the first pair before applying it to the second

Memorize multiplication facts through 12x12 and squares through 20 squared, verified by a 5-minute speed drill

Solve 20 number-puzzle items by translating each into an equation or a guess-and-check table

Practice two-step word problems involving fractions, averages, and unit rates, 15 items total

Introduce estimation shortcuts (rounding, compatible numbers) and apply them to 10 items before exact calculation

Complete one timed 25-question quantitative set in 25 minutes and compare accuracy against the week-3 baseline

Map the nonverbal battery (figure analogies, figure classification, paper folding) and describe the transformation rules each one tests

Solve 20 figure-analogy items by naming the transformation (rotation, reflection, size change, shading, addition/removal) before selecting an answer

Practice 15 paper-folding items by sketching the unfolded sheet step by step and marking punch holes

Set up a scratch-paper convention for spatial items (grid drawing, fold-direction arrows) and use it consistently

Solve 20 figure-classification items by listing two candidate shared attributes before eliminating options

Complete 15 mixed spatial-reasoning items under a 45-second-per-item cap to build pacing

Review all nonverbal errors from weeks 5-6 and classify each as a rule error, a visualization error, or a pacing error

Re-solve 10 previously missed nonverbal items cold, without looking at prior notes

Run two full-length mixed verbal-plus-quantitative practice sets under official timing and record raw scores

Re-drill the 20 weakest vocabulary words and the 10 weakest quantitative item types identified in earlier logs

Practice the three-pass strategy (easy first, medium second, flagged last) on one full set and note how many flagged items were recovered

Compare week-7 scores against the week-1 and week-4 baselines and identify which domain still lags

Complete two full-length three-domain practice tests under strict timing with no breaks

Review every error from both tests and re-solve each one correctly within 24 hours

Finalize a one-page test-day checklist covering pacing targets, scratch-paper habits, and guessing rules

Take a light final review of the vocabulary clusters and fact-fluency sheet, then stop heavy study 48 hours before test day
