CogAT individual profile narrative report

For an individual student, CogAT test results are presented as numerical scores, in bar graphs, and in written, narrative form. An area on the report is reserved for a standardised message from the school or a teacher’s comments. The Individual Profile Narrative Report is an excellent report to send home to families.

To generate these reports, please log into DataManager and navigate to Reports > Classic. Complete the form with the relevant details and select 'Student Profile Narrative (Scoring Service Print Style)' as your report type.
