Free logical selection worksheets for CogAT practice

CogAT · Logical selection · Grades 3–8

Logical selection asks what must be true. The item gives a short situation, and the tempting choice is often something that is usually true but not required. A common feature is not always a necessary one. QuizPrint places these questions in the CogAT verbal mix from Grade 3 through Grade 8, next to analogies and sentence completion. They come from our reasoning bank. This page does not call them an official CogAT subtest. The sample is Grade 5. QuizPrint is not affiliated with Riverside Insights, and these worksheets are not official CogAT questions.

Common questions

What kind of answer does logical selection want?
The statement that has to follow. A choice can sound familiar and still be wrong if the situation does not require it.
Is this the same as a figure matrix?
No. Logical selection is words. Figure matrices are on the nonverbal pages.
