FAQ: Will my second grader be given the Primary or Multilevel
version of the CogAT®* exam?
Second graders can be given the Primary or Multilevel Ed. of the CogAT®* exam. School
districts make the decision about which version will be given. You will need to confirm
with your school as Mercer Publishing cannot guarantee which version will be given to
your child.
Many schools are unable or unwilling to provide exam information to parents. If you are
unable to determine whether your school will be using the Primary or Multilevel Ed.,
Mercer Publishing recommends that your child practice with both practice tests in order to
ensure your child is prepared for whichever version will be given.
The issue is that the exams are enough different that studying one will not necessarily
help if your child is taking the other one.
