Free CogAT verbal classification worksheets

CogAT · Verbal classification · Grades 3–8

Verbal classification is an odd-one-out with words. Three words share a category or a job, and you choose the word that does not belong with them. QuizPrint uses it from Grade 3 through Grade 8. Grades 1 and 2 see the same idea with pictures. The sample is Grade 6, where the categories are a bit less obvious than a simple colour or animal group. The choices stay unmarked on this page. QuizPrint is not affiliated with Riverside Insights, and these worksheets are not official CogAT questions.
