The SAGES-3 identifies students who are gifted and/or talented in general intellectual ability and academic aptitude.

Features and benefits

  • Normative data (N = 1,834) were collected from 2015 to 2017.
  • New items were added to each subtest to eliminate possible ceiling effects.
  • Now includes a second reasoning test in order to sample more than one aspect of reasoning.
  • Now features two domain composite scores (Reasoning Ability and Academic Ability) and an overall composite score (General Ability).

Test structure

  • Features two levels: K-3, for students in kindergarten to third grade; and 4-8, for students in fourth to eighth grade.
  • Each level has four subtests: Nonverbal Reasoning, Language Arts/Social Studies, Verbal Reasoning, and Mathematics/Science.

Technical information

  • New studies of the floors, ceilings, and item gradients for the subtests and composites indicate that the SAGES-3 has substantial and consistently excellent ceilings, even for the oldest and brightest examinees.
  • The average coefficient alpha ranges between .81 and .96 for the subtests and .91 to .98 for the composites.
