CogAT Practice Test 5th Grade 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Map is to Directions as Clock is to:
- Numbers

A map helps provide directions, just as a clock is used to indicate time. The relationship is based on the primary purpose of each object.
Question 2: What is the missing number in this pattern? <br> <br> 2, 6, 18, 54, ?
- 108
- 162 (Correct answer)
- 216
- 324
Correct answer: 162
Each number in the sequence is multiplied by 3. After 54, multiplying by 3 gives 162.
Question 3: Which figure does not belong in this group?
- A square
- A rectangle
- A rhombus
- A circle (Correct answer)
Correct answer: A circle
The square, rectangle, and rhombus are all polygons with straight sides, while the circle has no sides or corners, making it the outlier.
Question 4: If 5 + 2 = 12 and 6 + 3 = 18, then what is 7 + 4?

The pattern involves multiplying the two numbers instead of adding them. For 7 + 4, the result is 7 × 4 = 28.
