Requested By My Second Grader
There’s no GATE testing until third grade in our district. Then what am I doing getting this COGAT Grade 2 book? Well, I got myself a second grader asking for the second grade COGAT book since she’s long been done with her first grade book. And whys she even doing first and second grade COGAT books? Apparently they’re fun! HahahaaWell, I did pickup the Grade 3 book to give some practical epronkems for my then third grader. Who then got into the GATE program. So I’m sure it’s effective. But also just a fun few problems to work on between homework and play.Priced $16.60 at time of order and review.Review of Gifted and Talented COGAT Test Prep Grade 2: Gifted Test Prep Book for the COGAT Level 8; Workbook for Children in Grade 2

Intro to Cogat Testing
I never heard of the Cogat test before and had no idea what it was, but my child was taking the test and I thought this would be helpful for them to see what would be on the test. Currently, there are 2 types of Cogat tests being administered in the US, one on paper, and one on the computer. It doesn't matter which your child takes, as the problems are in a similar format (according to my child). These questions are pretty intuitive for kids (at least it was for mine). It may seem a little too easy for some children, but there are some tough questions in there. For my kid, they blew through the entire book in a few days (we did a few pages at night). These seemed similar to worksheets my kid did in their language preschool. We have no idea how my kid did on the Cogat test, but my kid said that the problems were too easy.

Got into the gifted program and she did AMAZING on the test
recently purchased the 2nd grade gifted and talented CogAT test prep book for my 1st grader, and it turned out to be an excellent resource. Even though it was designed for second grade, we decided to use it, and the results were outstanding. My child performed exceptionally well on the test, scoring above 97% in most areas.The book covered all the necessary basics and provided comprehensive preparation for the test. It allowed my child to become familiar with the types of questions and the format of the test. In particular, the practice with hole puncher visual questions was extremely helpful, as it was a new concept for my child. The book's inclusion of analogy questions and pattern recognition exercises also helped my child gain confidence and familiarity with these types of questions.Given that this was my child's first experience taking a test, being well-prepared made a significant difference. The practice provided in the book enabled my child to approach the test with confidence and a clear understanding of what to expect.Overall, the 2nd grade gifted and talented CogAT test prep book proved to be an invaluable tool for my 1st grader. It covered all the necessary topics, introduced new question formats, and helped build confidence and familiarity with the test. I highly recommend it to parents seeking effective preparation materials for their children's cognitive ability tests.

Highly Recommended.
I'm so glad we bought this book. I'd highly recommend this book for the following reasons:1. It's quite comprehensive. The sections are clearly demarcated and covered with plenty of questions.2. There are two separate sections. The first section covers the skills in each area and then a full length test paper which we can either cover in one sitting (probably tough for a first timer, and I didn't want my daughter to make mistakes due to tiredness) or separately.3. The initial part to orient the parents is very helpful. It has different question types and examples clearly explained and therefore provides a structured approach rather than an intuitive hit-and-a-miss explanation especially when we need to explain our kids why some answer is wrong.4. An additional benefit is the way it's structured for the kids - it's mostly designed for the kids to navigate independently - the page markings and question markings with pictures is very helpful.Overall, I'd highly recommend this book.

Book is not brand new
We purchased the book for the forthcoming tests for our kids. The books are very expensive considering the limited content. The printing quality is good though. Anyway, the book arrived last night and seemed to fit our purpose. Unfortunately, as I went over the content with my kids, we quickly found that several pages were pencil-marked. We only went through about 15 pages last night, and there were already 4 to 5 pages with pencil marks. The marks are mainly on some of the pictures but not the answer bubbles so the book is still useable.
