CAT 4 DEMO
The CAT4 is a suite of tests that assesses a student’s reasoning abilities in key areas that support educational development and academic attainment; Verbal, Quantitative, Non-Verbal, and Spatial abilities. CAT4 does not require any prior knowledge and you cannot ‘learn’ how to answer the questions, it is therefore a good test because everyone starts at the same place. 


They are divided into eight sub-tests: Verbal Classification, Verbal Analogies, Number Analogies, Number Series, Figure Classification, Figure Matrices, Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition. A demo of these tests and more information can be found above.  


The tests will last approximately 2 ½ hours and will be spread out over the school morning. The tests will be completed on the computer and the scores will be used to produce a report showing a student’s strengths and weaknesses. These reports will be given to 4th Year students and can be used to form the basis of plans for their future development, which they themselves can take some control over. The report not only promotes self-reflection, but provides students with ideas for maximising their learning preferences.
