●“Figure matrices” has 22 questions.

Sample of Figure Matrices for Cogat Test Grade 6:

cogat figure matrices grade 6

Children are provided with a 2X2 matrix with the image missing in one cell. They have to identify the relationship between the two spatial shapes in the upper line and find a fourth image that has the same correlation with the left shape in the lower line.

  • In the upper left box, the image shows a white circle with two diagonals.

  • The upper right box shows a white circle.

  • In the lower left box, the image shows a white square with two diagonals.Which answer choice would go with this image in the same way as the upper imagesgo together?

  • The image of the answer choice must show a white square without diagonals.The right answer is “B”.


“Paper folding” has 16 questions.

Sample of Cogat Paper Folding questions for Grade 6:

cogat paper folding grade 6

Children need to determine the appearance of a perforated and folded sheet of paper, once opened.

The figures at the top represent a square piece of paper being folded, and the last of these figures has 5 holes on it.

One of the lower five figures shows where the perforations will be when the paper is fully unfolded. You have to understand which of these images is the right one.

  • First, the paper was folded horizontally, from left to right.

  • Then, 5 holes was punched out. Therefore,when the paper is unfolded the holes will mirror on the left and right side of the sheet.

  • The right answer is “A”.


●“Figure classifications” has 22 questions.

Sample of Cogat Figure Classification for Grade 6:

cogat figure classification grade 6

Students are provided with three shapes and they have to select the answer choice that should be the fourth figure in the set, based on the similarity with the other three figures. The intention is to test the student's ability to recognize similar patterns and to make a rational choice.

  • Look at the three pictures on the top.What do these three figures have in common?

  • You can see a black dot in a square in a bigger square, a black dot in a circle in a bigger circle, a black dot in a triangle in a bigger triangle.

  • Now, look at the shapes in the row of the answer choices. Which image matches best the three shapes in the top row?

  • The image of the answer choice must show two identical figures, the smaller one inside the larger one and a black dot inside the smaller

  • one.The right answer is “C” (a smaller heptagon in a larger heptagon and a black dot inside the smaller heptagon.)


Quantitative Section

●“Number analogies” has 18 questions.

In this session, you will see two pairs of numbers and then a number without its pair. The first two pairs of numbers are correlated in some way. Try to find out the correlation between the numbers within each of the pairs. Choose an answer that gives you the third pair of numbers, related to each others in the same way.

Sample of Cogat Number Analogies Questions for Grade 6:

  • In the first two sets, you have 1 and 55; 5 and 59. Both numbers (1 and 5), increase by 54 (1+54=55; 5+54=59).

  • Apply the same rule to the number 15.

  • 15 + 54 = 69

  • The right answer is “C”.


●“The number series” has 18 questions.
