Free Gifted Screening practice test — Grade 4

10 original Gifted Screening-style questions for Grade 4, with answers and full explanations. No signup needed.

A broad gifted-screener practice set covering the reasoning formats district screeners draw on — verbal, quantitative, and figural.

Use it when you know a screening is coming but not which instrument: the overlapping formats cover the common ground of CogAT, NNAT, and OLSAT.

  1. A17
  2. B21
  3. C18

  1. A12

  3. C11

?
  1. A
  2. B

Correct answer: D

In the top row, the figure grows and the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A right change, wrong figure shape; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C applies only one of the two changes; E applies the change twice.

  1. Abook
  2. Bcomb
