In Wake County 3rd Grade students all take the CogAT test. This test is a series of 9 tests that are each 10 minutes long. They take 3 tests a day for three days. If your child has one score of 85% and above, with parental permission, we will then administer the IOWA test. This test takes two days. Your child will take Reading one day and Math the following. Each test takes approximately one hour.
Any child that has TWO scores of 95% and above in BOTH areas of English Language Arts and Math will qualify for AIG services that begin quarter 4 of 3rd Grade. If your child has one score of 95% and above in either qualifying area, additional tests are administered individually to try to get a second qualifying score.
The CogAT tests will be administered for Tracks 1 on Monday, August 27 - 29, 2018 and for Tracks 2, 3, 4 on Monday, September 17 - 19, 2018. Tests will begin at 9:30am
The IOWA tests have been scheduled for Tracks 1&2 on Monday, November 5 - 6, 2018 and for Tracks 3&4 for Tuesday, November 27 - 28, 2018. These tests will also begin promptly at 9:30 am.
