COGAT Grade 1

My son and I love this book. Helps prepare him for his GATE test. This was kind of exactly what the real test was about

Great book! Gives you something to aim for when it comes to developing your child's logic and problem solving skills. No matter what you learn in life, those two are the most important skills and knowledge you can teach your kid. Even if they are not getting advanced scores, the problems can be used outside of the age range recommended. Make your kids exercise their brains!This book shouldn't have shipped like this. There is a cut through the cover and into a few pages. I kept it though because I didn't want to go through the whole process and wait more.

This book was easy to follow and helped us get our son up to speed on the types of questions he would see. Took us a few weeks to get through it and it went well!

Book is colorful, made of good quality paper.Everything (directions for the different question types with examples) is explained very well. Questions are pretty challenging at times, which is good. The book comes with 2 practice and one test.The few things I would like to see changed-Have a scantron or something at the end of the book so, kids don’t have to mark on the bubbles on the actual question, and maybe have an additional test. Little pricey but was still worth it.I used it for helping my kid’s prep for their CoGAT (the exam format) and more for road trips to keep them busy outside of puzzles and coloring.

My 6 year old is going through this book. He needs help at times, but mostly the book is very intuitive to a first grader.

LikeS: colored pictures and detailed explanation on the types of questions. And at answer pages, they have explanations too.Dislikes: may come across as a little easy for a 1st grader. The questions can be more challenging and there are actually no word problems, which in cogat testing i think they have some.

Kids will learn reading easily

Great practice booklet. My daughter took the test for GT placement in Kindergarten and didn't pass despite reading at a 3rd grade level and mastering mathematics to a 2nd grade level. I didn't think I needed to prepare her for the test because she is very smart. I ordered this so we could practice because the sooner she gets into the GT program the sooner she is given access to the best teachers and services her school can offer. After working through the first practice test with her I was able to teach her different test taking strategies as well as noticing her need for increased testing endurance. While I'm not a huge fan of "testing," these books are a great quality and have value in terms of being able to help intelligent kids learn how to test well.
