Can dyslexic pupils take the CAT4 Test?

Firstly, consult your school’s learning support advisor to discuss whether CAT4 testing is appropriate and to explore other testing options if needed.

Whether a dyslexic child can take the CAT4 test depends on the school’s objectives and the severity of the dyslexia. Sometimes, the CAT4 test can help identify mild forms of dyslexia that may have gone undetected in school. However, for children with severe dyslexia, the CAT4 test may not be the most suitable assessment. In such cases, alternative testing arrangements are needed to ensure a clear picture of a dyslexic pupil’s cognitive abilities.
