Sample CogAT Level 10 (Grade 4) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CogAT Level 10 (Grade 4) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Verbal analogy: pencil is to write as scissors is to ____.
A.cut
B.paper
C.sharp
D.draw
Explanation: A pencil is a tool used to write; following the same tool-to-action relationship, scissors are a tool used to cut. Verbal analogies on CogAT test whether you can name the relationship and apply it.
2Verbal analogy: hot is to cold as up is to ____.
A.high
B.fast
C.down
D.tall
Explanation: Hot and cold are opposites. Following the same opposite relationship, the opposite of up is down. CogAT verbal analogies often use antonym pairs.
3Verbal classification: doctor, teacher, nurse all belong to a group. Which word belongs with them?
A.hospital
B.pilot
C.stethoscope
D.patient
Explanation: Doctor, teacher, and nurse are all jobs or occupations. Pilot is also an occupation, so it fits the group. Classification questions ask you to find the shared category.
4Verbal classification: oak, maple, pine go together. Which word belongs with them?
A.rose
B.birch
C.grass
D.fern
Explanation: Oak, maple, and pine are all types of trees. Birch is also a tree, so it belongs in the group. The shared category here is 'trees'.
5Sentence completion: The librarian asked the students to remain ____ so others could read in peace.
A.loud
B.quiet
C.hungry
D.tired
Explanation: A library is a place for quiet reading, so the librarian would want students to be quiet so others can read in peace. Sentence completion uses context clues to pick the best word.
6Verbal analogy: bird is to flock as wolf is to ____.
A.pack
B.den
C.howl
D.forest
Explanation: A group of birds is called a flock; following the same animal-to-group relationship, a group of wolves is called a pack. CogAT analogies often test collective-noun relationships.
7Number series: 4, 8, 12, 16, ___. What number comes next?
A.18
B.20
C.24
D.22
Explanation: Each number increases by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16). Adding 4 to 16 gives 20. Number series questions require you to find the repeating rule and apply it.
8Number series: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___. What number comes next?
A.36
B.48
C.30
D.27
Explanation: Each number is doubled (multiplied by 2): 3, 6, 12, 24. Doubling 24 gives 48. This is a multiplication pattern rather than addition.
9Number puzzle: 7 + ? = 15. What number replaces the question mark?
A.6
B.7
C.8
D.9
Explanation: Both sides of the equation must be equal. Since 7 + 8 = 15, the missing number is 8. Number puzzles work like simple algebra where you solve for the unknown.
10Number analogy: 2 to 6 is like 5 to ___. (Each first number is multiplied to get the second.)
A.10
B.15
C.8
D.12
Explanation: In the first pair, 2 becomes 6 by multiplying by 3 (2 x 3 = 6). Applying the same rule, 5 x 3 = 15. Number analogies require you to find the rule in the first pair and apply it to the second.

CogAT Level 10 (Grade 4): Suggested Study Strategy

1State the rule in words before checking the answer choices on analogies and series.
2For number series, test addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and growing-step rules.
3For verbal questions, separate vocabulary knowledge from the relationship being tested.
4For number puzzles, remember both sides of the equation must be equal and solve the known side first.
5For nonverbal items, track shape, count, shading, rotation, reflection, and position changes one at a time.
6Build stamina with short timed practice, since the full battery runs about 90 minutes across three sections.
