Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT)
We administer the CogAT test to 8th grade students near the begining of each school year."By measuring students’ learned reasoning and problem-solving abilities in the three areas most linked to success in school, CogAT reveals a valid, broad view of their talents. With this knowledge, educators can make decisions that elevate each student’s academic experience." (from the CogAT publishers).Get more information on reading your child's scores here. -

PSAT / NMSQT
We do not administer the Practice SAT (PSAT) at Summerour. However, as students approach the end of middle school or the beginning of high school, many students opt to begin taking this test in preparation for the actual SAT, a college entrance exam. If you or your student are interested, you can find more information at their website.
