Free Grade 3 CogAT practice test with answers and explanations for figural, quantitative, and nonverbal questions.

1. Matrices

Grade 3 matrices question. The shaded upper-left and lower-left quarters of two circles combine into a shaded left half. Below, squares with shaded upper-right and lower-right quarters must combine. A has the right half shaded, B the lower-right quarter, C the left half, and D the upper-right quarter.
Show answer and explanation for question 1

Answer A. The third box combines the shaded parts from the first two boxes. The two shaded left quarters form the left half of the circle. In the bottom row, the two shaded right quarters form the right half of the square. This gives A.

2. Figural Analogies

Grade 3 figural analogies question. One star shaded on the right becomes two stars shaded on the left. Two circles shaded on the left must follow the same rule. A shows three circles shaded on the right, B three shaded on the left, C two stars, and D four circles shaded on the right.
Show answer and explanation for question 2

Answer A. The top pair adds one figure and switches the shaded side. Apply both changes to the circles: two circles become three, and the shading moves from left to right. This gives A.

3. Classification

Grade 3 classification question asking which object does not belong. A is a striped shirt, B a zebra, C a solid blue scarf, and D a striped barber pole.
Show answer and explanation for question 3

Answer C. The shirt, zebra, and barber pole are striped. The solid blue scarf is the only object without stripes, so C does not belong.

4. Number Series

Grade 3 number series question asking what comes after 7, 8, 10, 13. The answer choices are A: 16, B: 18, C: 19, and D: 17.
Show answer and explanation for question 4

Answer D. The amount added increases by one each time: add 1, then 2, then 3. Add 4 next, so 13 + 4 = 17. This gives D.

5. Paper Folding

Grade 3 paper folding question. Fold the left half of a square to the right, then the bottom half upward, and punch a down-left arrow through the folded paper. Choices A through D show four arrow-shaped holes with different orientations after unfolding.
Show answer and explanation for question 5

Answer A. Each fold reflects the punched arrow. Unfolding first across the horizontal fold and then across the vertical fold creates four arrows that point toward the center. This matches A.
