Registration Open for CogAT Aptitude Assessment

Greenville County Schools will offer the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) on Monday, October 14, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. at Charles Townes Center (Directions) to students who reside in Greenville County but are not currently enrolled in a South Carolina public school that offers aptitude testing.

The CogAT assessment is a three-battery multiple-choice aptitude assessment that measures reasoning skills with different types of verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal questions. Each section of the assessment takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, and the entire assessment takes three to four hours including breaks. A minimum score of 93% national percentile rank on any CogAT subtest (verbal, nonverbal, or quantitative) meets the state's criteria for the aptitude dimension of GT identification.   

Interested families must pre-register via the Student Registration for CogAT Aptitude Assessment Form by Wednesday, October 9.  There will be no walk-ups or late registrations.
