The Cognitive Abilities Test Form 7 is the newest abilities test that BJU Press offers and uses norms from 2017. It divides each battery into three short subtests, allowing students to take breaks, as needed.

Gifted programs often require abilities test scores. If you want to help your child place into one of these, please check the gifted program requirements to see whether the tests we offer are acceptable.
