Answer Key — CogAT Grade 3

  1. 1. B — Wolves travel in a 'pack.' Herd=cattle, flock=birds, school=fish.
  2. 2. C — Each number increases by 3. 11 + 3 = 14.
  3. 3. B — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 15 − 7 = 8.
  4. 4. B — The rule changes white to black, keeping the shape. White star → black star.
  5. 5. C — Each fold doubles the layers: 1 → 2 → 4.
  6. 6. D — All three have strings, and so does a banjo. Drum, trumpet, flute and whistle have no strings.
  7. 7. A — Whatever is in the parentheses times 5 equals 90, so the parentheses equal 90 ÷ 5 = 18. Then ? = 18 − 3 = 15.
  8. 8. A — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. A shares it too. The others don't: B does not share the property; C does not share the property; D a different shape from the shared one; E solid black instead of the shared property.
  9. 9. C — The relationship is "animal to the sound it makes." duck → quack, so cow → moo.
  10. 10. B — 'Cautious' means taking care to avoid danger — being careful.
  11. 11. D — Each number increases by 2. 2 + 2 = 4.
  12. 12. B — The pattern adds 4 each time. 14 + 4 = 18.
  13. 13. A — The rule turns the arrow a quarter turn clockwise: up → right, so left → up.
  14. 14. B — The punch goes through 2 layers, making 2 holes when unfolded.
  15. 15. A — All three measure how long something is, and so does a yard. Pound measures weight, cup measures liquid, hour measures time.
  16. 16. A — First find ▲: 4 × 9 = 36. Then ? = 36 − 10 = 26.
  17. 17. D — What the three figures share: all figures share the same fill. D shares it too. The others don't: A repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; B does not share the property; C does not share the property; E solid black instead of the shared property.
  18. 18. A — The relationship is "thing to its usual color." chocolate → brown, so pumpkin → orange.
  19. 19. B — 'Enormous' means extremely large — a synonym for 'huge.'
  20. 20. D — Each number increases by 3. 1 + 3 = 4.
