Ability x Achievement Tool
Compare potential and performance with the Ability x Achievement Tool.
The Ability x Achievement Tool enables educators to combine the power of CogAT insights with any set of achievement data. Use this tool to answer questions like:
- What is the general trend in my students’ CogAT and achievement performance? Are there sub-populations of students falling above or below the general trend line?
- Which students demonstrate high potential in their cognitive abilities but may not be performing at or above their potential in reading and/or math?
- What can we estimate about students’ future achievement performance using their CogAT data?
