Achievement testing takes approximately 4–6 hours over 2 days, and combination testing with the CogAT adds a day of testing. (The CogAT is about 2 hours). Refer to the Testing Schedule (PDF) for allotted testing times. The CogAT can’t be administered independently. It must be administered with the Iowa Assessments.

While the format changes, content and time restrictions stay the same.

This is the same for both the Iowa Assessments Form E and the CogAT Form 7. The change in format includes showing only one question at a time in many subtests, which is usually less distracting for students. In certain cases, it may also mean the student will be using headphones.

No. Your student will be testing at the same time as other students in the same grade. While students move at their own pace within each subtest, the test administrator will move students onto the next subject when all students in that grade have completed a particular subtest or time has run out for that subject.

Yes. Due to the group setting for online tests, students must finish subtests within the allotted times in K5–Grade 2. Refer to the Testing Schedule (PDF) for allotted testing times.

If you have a struggling reader or your student has timing issues, paper/pencil testing or a lower grade level test may be a better option.
