Sample CogAT Quantitative Practice Questions

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

1Number analogy: 2 -> 5, 4 -> 7, 6 -> ?
A.8
B.9
C.10
D.12
Explanation: Each starting number increases by 3. Since 6 + 3 = 9, the missing number is 9.
2Number analogy: 3 -> 6, 5 -> 10, 7 -> ?
A.12
B.13
C.14
D.15
Explanation: Each number is doubled. Doubling 7 gives 14, so 14 completes the analogy.
3Number analogy: 10 -> 8, 7 -> 5, 12 -> ?
A.10
B.11
C.14
D.6
Explanation: Each ending number is 2 less than the starting number. Since 12 - 2 = 10, the answer is 10.
4Number analogy: 4 -> 16, 6 -> 24, 8 -> ?
A.28
B.30
C.36
D.32
Explanation: Each starting number is multiplied by 4. Since 8 x 4 = 32, the missing number is 32.
5Number analogy: 9 -> 3, 12 -> 4, 15 -> ?
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.3
Explanation: Each starting number is divided by 3. Since 15 divided by 3 is 5, the missing number is 5.
6Number analogy: 2 -> 7, 5 -> 10, 8 -> ?
A.11
B.12
C.13
D.16
Explanation: Each pair follows the rule add 5. Since 8 + 5 = 13, the answer is 13.
7Number analogy: 3 -> 10, 5 -> 16, 7 -> ?
A.20
B.22
C.24
D.28
Explanation: The rule is multiply by 3 and then add 1. For 7, 7 x 3 + 1 = 22.
8Number analogy: 6 -> 4, 9 -> 7, 13 -> ?
A.9
B.10
C.11
D.12
Explanation: Each ending number is 2 less than the starting number. Since 13 - 2 = 11, the answer is 11.
9Number analogy: 2 -> 6, 4 -> 20, 6 -> ?
A.30
B.36
C.40
D.42
Explanation: Each number is multiplied by the next whole number: 2 x 3 = 6 and 4 x 5 = 20. So 6 x 7 = 42.
10Number analogy: 5 -> 12, 8 -> 18, 11 -> ?
A.24
B.25
C.26
D.28
Explanation: The rule is double the number, then add 2. For 11, 11 x 2 + 2 = 24.

About the CogAT Quantitative Exam

The CogAT Quantitative Battery measures reasoning with number relationships, sequences, and missing values. It is one of the three CogAT batteries used to describe student reasoning strengths for instructional planning and gifted/talented decisions.
