California GATE Cognitive Abilities VIP Practice Exam

CA GATE — California GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) identification is conducted by individual school districts using nationally standardized cognitive ability assessments — most commonly the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT, published by Riverside Insights), the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT), or the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT); there is no single statewide CA GATE exam, but this original practice set mirrors the three-domain CogAT format — Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Abstract/Nonverbal Reasoning — at the difficulty level associated with GATE qualification (approximately the 95th percentile for a student's age group).
