Practice Test for the COGAT Grade 5 Level 11: CogAT Test Prep Grade 5: Cognitive Abilities Test Form 7 and 8 for 5th Grade

I really liked this book. Simple and have enough problems to keep student engage but not overwhelm with the repetitiveness. My daughter liked it and finished it pretty quickly. I liked that it has so many examples of possible questions and shows them what to expect! I would buy again.

Bought this for 5th. Grade son to prepare for Highschool entrance exams.Really helpful and my son learned a lot, Highly recommended.

Good to see the Origins Publications is actively working on improving the quality of this workbook by revising them constantly. The one I have purchased is the 2019 edition that was printed on Feb 2020. This one is indicating it covers the latest cogAT form 8 as well.Competitive pricing – when compared with Mercer publications workbook, this book costs $15 lesser than them – for the same amount of challenge questions.Sentence completion – Practice Test Page 22, question #1 – the answer choices – loudspeaker and microphone seems both are necessary. One can’t project his/her voice around the room without a loudspeaker. Obviously in order for loudspeaker to amplify the sound, it first needs an electrical signal. One’s voice first need to be converted to electrical signal and that needs a microphone. I believe the answer choice microphone is partially right but not fully.Figure Matrices – Practice Test Page 53 Question #1, #3,#11,#12,#19 – Due to grayscale used for the print --- some of the shades are very light and is difficult to interpret them. Prefer to have them in color or use better shadings to differentiate them.Paper Folding – Practice Test Pages 64,65,66 – I would rather see all these paper shades little darker (as like the one used in questions #14,#15,#16).Bubble Sheets – I would prefer to have them in perforated edge so that it is easy for the student to tear it when taking test and keep it in their side (as like in their class room) instead of constantly reaching to the back of the book.

The book is so helpful for my kid, it has both testing strategies and practice tests for many topics. We could use it for my kid's iowa testing. My kid is a little weak at vocabulary, and I think the vocabulary test in this book can better help him prepare for the exam.

Easy to use, we practiced with our son over the summer. His CoGAT result was fantastic (99%). Do a little each week in the summer so the child gets used to the concepts

Good practice questions. Easier than expected. Love the bonus questions part and awaiting free worksheets for more practice. Incentives really make me feel encouraged. Answer key is very clear and helpful to practice as in real examination.

The questions in the book were very challenging and helpful to the 5th graders. My child learnt a lot of new information about the possible questions that can appear on the test. Overall, we found the content to cover the relevant sections of the test very well.

I purchased this CogAT review book in late October 2019. To judge from the now corrected typo of "[p]assing" that a reviewer had complained in an early September review about Sentence Completion exercise 18, it is a less than 2 months old revision of the prior edition.It has been useful to my fifth-grade daughter for understanding of the type of questions of the CogAT, and for her own development of separate general strategies on how to deal with the quizzes of each of the various batteries. The test questions, however, are hardly different from those that one may get by trawling the Web for free study examples -- what the book offers, like any other CogAT books of this kind, is a relatively abundance of examples.It was also unexpectedly useful for her self-image, as she discovered some book errors. For instance, in exercise 16 of Figure Classifications (whose correct answer is figure D), the book erroneously gives the answer as figure C --whose top shape only has vertical lines-- claiming "the top shape is filled with horizontal lines." And she also discovered an error of omission in exercise 8 of Number Analogies, where the book (which gives alternative approaches for the number series solutions) only gives "Subtract 0 from each number" as the correct operation, despite the arguably more reasonable operational alternative of multiplying each number by 1. The publisher needs to revise the book more carefully before releasing it.My own peeve is the exercise 15 of the Number Analogies, where the answer is "Equivalent to 1/2." This is the only arithmetic exercise where equivalent expressions raise their head. While such response is correct, and numerical equivalences are indeed covered by the unspecific term "relationship," both the example to the sample question and the only tip for number analogies in p. 16 only deal with arithmetic operations. It would had not been too much effort for the book's preparation team to add the tip that equivalent expressions are essentially different expressions that yield the same answer..
