GRADE 4 • COGAT® LEVEL 10 • 16-WEEK 1:1 PROGRAM
Master the CogAT® Level 10 with 1:1 Precision
The CogAT Level 10 introduces higher-order two-step rules, multi-unknown equations, nuanced vocabulary connectives, and multi-layer spatial unfolding. WhizPrep's premium 16-week 1:1 curriculum equips 4th graders with systematic reasoning tools, diagnostic precision, and test-day composure for Gifted & Talented placement.
The WhizPrep 1:1 advantage
Higher-Order Reasoning
We teach 4th graders to master multi-step transformations and nuanced relational logic.
Root-Cause Error Diagnostics
Every mistake is classified into 6 diagnostic codes (Concept, Pattern, Careless, Misread, Time, or Second-Guessing).
Dynamic Adaptive Pacing
1:1 sessions shift focus to target specific weak subtests (25m/20m/15m allocation) rather than rigid teaching.
Stamina & Composure
4 proctored full-length mock exams prepare students for the 70–80 minute testing intensity.
Program structure at a glance
16 Weeks • 1-on-1 Dedicated Mentorship
1 Weekly Session (70–80 Minutes)
1 Diagnostic + 2 Mini-Tests + 4 Full Mocks
All 9 Level 10 Subtests across 3 Batteries
15–20 Curated Questions + Rule Validation
The 3 CogAT® batteries & 9 subtests
Every subtest is taught explicitly, with its own strategy framework.
Verbal Battery
Advanced Language Logic
1. Verbal Analogies
Nuanced degree & intensity (Damp : Soaked :: Cool : Freezing; tool-product, symbol-meaning).
2. Sentence Completion
Abstract vocabulary, multi-clause syntax, and meaning flips (although, despite, unless).
3. Verbal Classification
Abstract categories, dual attributes, function over appearance, state exceptions.
Quantitative Battery
Algebraic & Sequence Mastery
4. Number Analogies
Complex two-step rules (× then +, × then −; e.g. 3 → 10, 5 → 16; squares/roots).
5. Number Puzzles
Multi-variable substitution (□ + 6 = Δ + 2, Δ = 9), order of operations, inverse logic.
6. Number Series
Interleaved dual sequences, growing/shrinking differences (+2, +4, +6), combined operations.
Nonverbal Battery
Multi-Layer Spatial Logic
7. Figure Matrices
Simultaneous dual transformations (rotation with shading change, row/column dual rules).
8. Paper Folding
Multi-step diagonal & asymmetric folds, multi-layer hole punch tracking, mental unfolding.
9. Figure Classification
Dual-attribute grouping, rotation invariants, shaded-to-unshaded ratio analysis.
Proprietary 6-point error diagnostic framework
Instead of generic percentage scoring, we evaluate the exact cognitive reason behind every missed question so mistakes never repeat.
Code A
Concept Gap
Didn't grasp the underlying rule
Code B
Misread Prompt
Rushed or missed a key clue
Code C
Careless Slip
Calculation or marking slip
Code D
Pattern Blindness
Failed to decode the pattern
Code E
Time Pressure
Ran out of section time
Code F
Second Guessing
Changed right answer to wrong
