CCAT Grade 3 Test

Students in wish to join their school’s gifted and talented program in 3rd grade will need to successfully take the CCAT 3rd grade test. This test is also called the CCAT Level 9 as it is taken by children who are 9 years old. This test measures a child’s abilities in quantitative, verbal, and nonverbal tests. The test is based on general knowledge therefore does not include what they do in school. The test is structured to assess the child’s ability to pick new concepts and ideas.

Questions are not read out to candidates rather; they will have to read printed instructions by themselves. At this level, test-takers are expected to have significantly built their verbal skills therefore the verbal section will have equal importance as the other sections. This is a difficult test, but with proper preparation your child has a much better chance of passing the test.
