Compiling CogAT Composite Scores

1

Convert the raw scores into the CogAt Universal Scale Score; the raw score is the number of correct answers a student marks on the test. Three tests are given in the verbal section, and the scores from these three tests comprise the verbal score. Three tests are also given in the quantitative section, and the average of these scores makes up the quantitative score; the nonverbal test is one test consisting of 15 to 25 questions. You will have three new scores.
2

Enter each of the three Universal Scale Scores in the tables in the Form 6 Norms Booklet in each category; standard age score (SAS), percentile rank (PR) and stanine (S). You should have nine new scores; however, keep each new score in its category then take an average of that category.
3

Compile a total score for all three exams by summing up the Universal Scale Scores for the three battery exams and dividing by three; this gives you the composite score. For example, the equation should be CogAt (V) + CogAt (Q) + CogAT (N)/3 = composite score.
