Answer Key — CogAT Grade 5
1. B — The rule is: multiply by 2, then add 4. So 19 → 42.
2. C — The pattern alternates: +5, then +5.
3. D — Every hole copies across each fold line like a mirror. 1 hole through 4 layers makes 4 holes when unfolded.
4. B — flute, tuba, piccolo are all wind instruments. Trumpet is also one of the wind instruments, so it belongs in the group.
5. C — ? must be 57 + 106 = 163, because 163 − 106 = 57.
6. D — The first three figures go together because they all show the same number of shapes. Only the correct choice matches that rule.
7. D — Furious means nearly the same as angry, and clever means nearly the same as smart.
8. B — Someone whose story changes cannot be trusted, so he is unreliable.
9. B — The rule is: multiply by 2, then add 5. So 2 → 9.
10. D — The pattern alternates: +3, then +7.
11. D — Every hole copies across each fold line like a mirror. 1 hole through 4 layers makes 4 holes when unfolded.
12. A — glimpse, observe, glance are all ways to look. Survey is also one of the ways to look, so it belongs in the group.
13. A — ? must be 119 + 2 = 121, because 121 − 2 = 119.
