📢 Attention 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Bengal Families!
Next week, our students will be taking the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test), which assesses their reasoning and problem-solving skills across three areas: Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal abilities. These important skills are used for learning and understanding new information, so it’s a great way to see how your child thinks and learns!
✨ Tips for Success:
1️⃣ Ensure your child gets a good night's sleep.
2️⃣ Arrive on time to school so they can settle in before the test.
3️⃣ Encourage a healthy breakfast to fuel their brain power.
4️⃣ Remind them to stay calm—this is just one way we assess their learning.
Let’s help our students be their best! 💪🎓 #CogAT #TestReady #StudentSuccess
