Three Primary Uses of CogAT Scores
• Help teachers adapt instructional goals, methods and materials to the individual needs of students
• Measure of each student’s level of cognitive development
• Identify student whose level of academic achievement differs from what would be expected on their CogAT scores
![Page 15: Interpreting Your Child’s CRCT, ITBS, & CogAT Scores: It’s About Improving Achievement! Beaver Ridge ES 2012-2013](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bde03550346af588b5cc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is ITBS?
The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills is a norm-referenced test
developed by the University of Iowa. It tests mastery of the academic skills found
in the elementary curriculum.
The purpose of these tests is to provide information about student progress in a curriculum that expands in breadth and depth with each additional grade level.

Grade Equivalent (GE)
• Grade equivalents are reported in decimal format. The number in front of the decimal is the grade level and the number after the decimal represents months. (e.g. 3.4 represents third grade, fourth month)
• GE does not indicate a student’s instructional level.
• GE allows for comparison of growth over time.
