The free version of the app comes with a test pack containing 39 questions from all 9 test categories. These questions are representative of the test sections and are provided for evaluation purposes. Full Length CogAT Test packs are available for purchase from the Purchase Test Packs screen - Each test pack simulates a real full length Cogat Test with a total of 195 questions from all the 9 test categories of a CogAT test.
Users can create and work simultaneously on up to a maximum of 10 tests. Each test can be created either with questions from a subset or from all of the 9 test categories. This provides flexibility to users to work and improve on specific test categories.
Tests are always started in a timed mode with an option to pause and restart the test. CogatPrep also allows users to take extended breaks and continue the test at a later point of time, without having to start from the beginning.
