Middle School Magnet Testing

For those whose kids took the online tests, was there a timer on the screen that let them know how much time they had left or does the proctor inform the kids along the way? And how does the online version work if kids need to skip questions but want to return to it later on to finish?

I don't have an answer for you, but I have a question. Did kids take the full-length CogAt or the screener? The full-length test must have taken forever..

It’s being administered at our school on Friday so I can’t answer OP’s questions either, but we have been informed that it will take approximately 3 hours to take the test, so I’m guessing that’s the full length test?

There is a “parent information FAQ” on the middle school magnet website that includes this question:

2. What is the name of the test being used? What is the CogAT test about? The name of the test is the CogAT. It is an online test that includes three batteries that contain verbal, nonverbal and quantitative reasoning questions. Within each battery is three subtests that are timed tests. Students take the test using a Chromebook and receive 10 minutes each to complete a subtest. There are a few practice questions students complete with the test examiner, and then students complete each section of the test individually. There is a running timer on the test for each student and when 10 minutes have passed, the test will close. Students may skip questions and then return to answer them. The number of questions range from 10 – 18 questions per section. Students who have testing accommodation plans will receive their accommodations as appropriate for this test.

Is it online test or paper test? I believe that its paper test.

Look at the post just before yours. The FAQ says it is an online test.
