CogAT Quantitative study guide

CogAT Quantitative · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

This independent study page provides practice for CogAT Quantitative. Its editorial learning areas include Numerical analogies, series, puzzles and justified comparisons. The questions develop subject knowledge and application through worked reasoning, distinctions between competing answers, and practical scenarios. Study the relevant guide before attempting a mixed set, then explain the evidence or calculation that supports each answer. Review the wrong alternatives to identify a misunderstood concept, a missed condition, or a unit error. Some foundational practice is shared with related qualifications where the subject matter overlaps. Topics on this exam: Numerical analogies, series, puzzles and justified comparisons. The CogAT Quantitative study guide has 1 section and about 1,446 words.

01

Numerical analogies, series, puzzles and justified comparisons

Independent quantitative-reasoning practice uses numerical analogies, series, comparisons and balanced puzzles. Infer a simple consistent intended rule from all supplied examples, state it clearly, and test the answer. No official score distribution, age norm, form-equivalence or timing rule is asserted here. Number analogy: two pairs governed by the same rule.
