CogAT student data fields and required formats

This article explains the student information requirements for testing with CogAT on the Riverside Insights DataManager platform.

These requirements apply when adding students individually and in bulk. For more information on these processes, please refer to the following articles:

Note for bulk import

Each time you upload a student data file for bulk import, it will be manually reviewed by the US-based Riverside Insights support team, which may take up to 10 business days. Any errors will require you to fix and re-submit the file for checking.

We strongly recommend that you use the Rostering Assistant to check for potential errors before uploading your file.
