How is the CAT4 scored?

• • The Standard Age Score (SAS) is the most important piece of information derived from any standardized test.

• • This is based on the student’s raw score which has been adjusted for age.

• • Then placed on a scale that makes a comparison with a nationally representative sample of students who tool the same CAT4 exam.

• • These are representative CAT4 samples drawn from schools across the UK.

Maximizing your CAT4 test practice sessions

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to:

 

• • Replicate as closely as possible an actual CAT4 assessment environment.

• • Leverage the value of CAT4 sample questions to establish where your child may be going wrong.

• • Monitor your child’s CAT4 progress. You can easily track their revision progress by checking how quickly their CAT4 assessment results improve.

• • Then you must focus on the CAT4 subtest or CAT4 question type that they are struggling most with.

• • Next, you can try assigning more CAT4 assessment sample questions of their weaker topics. Focusing their CAT4 test practice on your child’s weaker topics will encourage them to slowly learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.

• • Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy. If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

• • As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

 

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• • Whenever there’s inappropriate progress, then further CAT4 analysis is required. Or immediate curriculum changes.

Cognitive ability testing with GL Education’s CAT4

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

• Who is achieving in line with their individual CAT4 predictions?
• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

If attainment isn’t aligned with CAT4 scores or there is a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the individual strands of CAT4, the school applies their

GL Education consultants follow a well-established flow chart, which includes appropriate cognitive assessments, like GL Education’s CAT4.

Educational targets are shared with parents; with any confidential info held by counsellors marked as such on those children’s folder (with emotional or social concerns).

How should I prepare for the CAT4?

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

<  <  Youtube video explaining the different CAT4 levels for different school age groups  >   >

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

 

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

 

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

 

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

 

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

 

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

 

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

 

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking

How to maximize CAT4 skills learning in three easy steps

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to follow these CAT4 revision steps:

1. Firstly, review our detailed CAT 4 test samples to learn the CAT4 item / CAT4 section composition of an actual CAT4 assessment.
2. In reviewing our CAT4 sample questions, learn where your CAT4 learning is stalling. More specifically, which types of CAT4 question in which of the eight CAT4 sections you fin the most challenging. 
3. Over time, with continual CAT 4 practice, you will learn how to answer even the most difficult question types. 

• Why follow these your CAT4 test practice steps?

Why is such focussed CAT4 test practice necessary?

• To learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.
• Keeping motivated.
• Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy.
•  If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

How to maximize CAT4 skills learning in three easy steps

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to follow these CAT4 revision steps:

1. Firstly, review our detailed CAT 4 test samples to learn the CAT4 item / CAT4 section composition of an actual CAT4 assessment.
2. In reviewing our CAT4 sample questions, learn where your CAT4 learning is stalling. More specifically, which types of CAT4 question in which of the eight CAT4 sections you fin the most challenging. 
3. Over time, with continual CAT 4 practice, you will learn how to answer even the most difficult question types. 

• Why follow these your CAT4 test practice steps?

Why is such focussed CAT4 test practice necessary?

• To learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.
• Keeping motivated.
• Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy.
•  If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• • Whenever there’s inappropriate progress, then further CAT4 analysis is required. Or immediate curriculum changes.

Cognitive ability testing with GL Education’s CAT4

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

• Who is achieving in line with their individual CAT4 predictions?
• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

If attainment isn’t aligned with CAT4 scores or there is a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the individual strands of CAT4, the school applies their

GL Education consultants follow a well-established flow chart, which includes appropriate cognitive assessments, like GL Education’s CAT4.

Educational targets are shared with parents; with any confidential info held by counsellors marked as such on those children’s folder (with emotional or social concerns).

How should I prepare for the CAT4?

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

<  <  Youtube video explaining the different CAT4 levels for different school age groups  >   >

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking

How to maximize CAT4 skills learning in three easy steps

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to follow these CAT4 revision steps:

1. Firstly, review our detailed CAT 4 test samples to learn the CAT4 item / CAT4 section composition of an actual CAT4 assessment.
2. In reviewing our CAT4 sample questions, learn where your CAT4 learning is stalling. More specifically, which types of CAT4 question in which of the eight CAT4 sections you fin the most challenging. 
3. Over time, with continual CAT 4 practice, you will learn how to answer even the most difficult question types. 

• Why follow these your CAT4 test practice steps?

Why is such focussed CAT4 test practice necessary?

• To learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.
• Keeping motivated.
• Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy.
•  If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• • Whenever there’s inappropriate progress, then further CAT4 analysis is required. Or immediate curriculum changes.

Cognitive ability testing with GL Education’s CAT4

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

• Who is achieving in line with their individual CAT4 predictions?
• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

If attainment isn’t aligned with CAT4 scores or there is a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the individual strands of CAT4, the school applies their

GL Education consultants follow a well-established flow chart, which includes appropriate cognitive assessments, like GL Education’s CAT4.

Educational targets are shared with parents; with any confidential info held by counsellors marked as such on those children’s folder (with emotional or social concerns).

How should I prepare for the CAT4?

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

<  <  Youtube video explaining the different CAT4 levels for different school age groups  >   >

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking

• • Several CAT4 practice tests

How do schools use CAT4 results?

 

• • Most schools inform parents about CAT4 tests in advance.

• • As a result, parents get to know their plans and expectations from students.

 

• • Individual reports to parents show the performance of their children across the four batteries.

• • Consequently, schools present results to parents and students using the Stanines (ST) since it is easy to comprehend.

• • Then you must focus on the CAT4 subtest or CAT4 question type that they are struggling most with.

• • Next, you can try assigning more CAT4 assessment sample questions of their weaker topics. Focusing their CAT4 test practice on your child’s weaker topics will encourage them to slowly learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.

• • Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy. If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

Cognitive ability testing with GL Education’s CAT4

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

• Who is achieving in line with their individual CAT4 predictions?
• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

If attainment isn’t aligned with CAT4 scores or there is a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the individual strands of CAT4, the school applies their

GL Education consultants follow a well-established flow chart, which includes appropriate cognitive assessments, like GL Education’s CAT4.

Educational targets are shared with parents; with any confidential info held by counsellors marked as such on those children’s folder (with emotional or social concerns).

How should I prepare for the CAT4?

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

<  <  Youtube video explaining the different CAT4 levels for different school age groups  >   >

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

 

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

 

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

 

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

 

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

 

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

 

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

 

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking

• • Individual reports to parents show the performance of their children across the four batteries.

• • Consequently, schools present results to parents and students using the Stanines (ST) since it is easy to comprehend.

• • Notably, the CAT4 website contains a short generic overview that can assist parents to understand more about the tests.

How to maximize CAT4 skills learning in three easy steps

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to follow these CAT4 revision steps:

1. Firstly, review our detailed CAT 4 test samples to learn the CAT4 item / CAT4 section composition of an actual CAT4 assessment.
2. In reviewing our CAT4 sample questions, learn where your CAT4 learning is stalling. More specifically, which types of CAT4 question in which of the eight CAT4 sections you fin the most challenging. 
3. Over time, with continual CAT 4 practice, you will learn how to answer even the most difficult question types. 

• Why follow these your CAT4 test practice steps?

Why is such focussed CAT4 test practice necessary?

• To learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.
• Keeping motivated.
• Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy.
•  If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

<  <  Youtube video explaining the different CAT4 levels for different school age groups  >   >

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

 

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

 

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

 

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

 

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

 

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

 

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

 

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking

How to maximize CAT4 skills learning in three easy steps

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to follow these CAT4 revision steps:

1. Firstly, review our detailed CAT 4 test samples to learn the CAT4 item / CAT4 section composition of an actual CAT4 assessment.
2. In reviewing our CAT4 sample questions, learn where your CAT4 learning is stalling. More specifically, which types of CAT4 question in which of the eight CAT4 sections you fin the most challenging. 
3. Over time, with continual CAT 4 practice, you will learn how to answer even the most difficult question types. 

• Why follow these your CAT4 test practice steps?

Why is such focussed CAT4 test practice necessary?

• To learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.
• Keeping motivated.
• Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy.
•  If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• • Whenever there’s inappropriate progress, then further CAT4 analysis is required. Or immediate curriculum changes.

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

How do schools use CAT4 results?

 

• • Most schools inform parents about CAT4 tests in advance.

• • As a result, parents get to know their plans and expectations from students.

 

• • Individual reports to parents show the performance of their children across the four batteries.

• • Consequently, schools present results to parents and students using the Stanines (ST) since it is easy to comprehend.

• • Notably, the CAT4 website contains a short generic overview that can assist parents to understand more about the tests.

CAT4 is the best standardised school assessment

The CAT4 is substantially different from any other curriculum and familiarizing students with the testing material before the exam is extremely important. To assist the students to gain good scores, the online prep program offers CAT4 practice packs for Level A, B, C, D, E, F and G that will all contain sample questions, detailed explanations and practice tests.

It is also to be noted that there is a significant difference between CAT4 and the regular curriculum program. As a result, it becomes important to provide students with testing material before the exam.

How do schools use CAT4 results?

 

• • Most schools inform parents about CAT4 tests in advance.

• • As a result, parents get to know their plans and expectations from students.

 

• • Individual reports to parents show the performance of their children across the four batteries.

• • Consequently, schools present results to parents and students using the Stanines (ST) since it is easy to comprehend.

• • Notably, the CAT4 website contains a short generic overview that can assist parents to understand more about the tests.

Maximizing your CAT4 test practice sessions

To get the best from your CAT4 test practice, we advise you to:

 

• • Replicate as closely as possible an actual CAT4 assessment environment.

• • Leverage the value of CAT4 sample questions to establish where your child may be going wrong.

• • Monitor your child’s CAT4 progress. You can easily track their revision progress by checking how quickly their CAT4 assessment results improve.

• • Then you must focus on the CAT4 subtest or CAT4 question type that they are struggling most with.

• • Next, you can try assigning more CAT4 assessment sample questions of their weaker topics. Focusing their CAT4 test practice on your child’s weaker topics will encourage them to slowly learn where they are going wrong and what to do differently.

• • Mastering such difficulties will improve their self-efficacy. If you are lucky then your child will start to love learning! Either way, this approach will help to create a growth mindset.

• • As a final stage, paying for a CAT4 assessment mock is an ideal way to establish how your child is to pass their actual CAT4 assessment.

Why do schools use the CAT 4?

The CAT4 tests range was published a decade ago. GL Education‘s CAT 4 assessment series has become increasingly popular, especially for streaming. Other popular CAT 4 applications are to:

 

• • Explore academic potential. More specifically, the CAT4 assessments

• • Create uniformity and consistency across each primary/secondary school’s year group

• • Benchmark internationally any individual pupils’ attainment

• • Reveal any disparity between a CAT4 test-taker’s ability and school achievement to date.

• • Whenever there’s inappropriate progress, then further CAT4 analysis is required. Or immediate curriculum changes.

Cognitive ability testing with GL Education’s CAT4

GL Education’s Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and LASS help the school ensure that every child achieves their potential in the classroom.

The CAT4’s verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability tasks are used as a starting point to provide teachers with information on children’s:

• Strengths;
• Learning preferences; and
• Weaknesses.

GL Education recommends that any school using the CAT4 analyses those CAT4 results on a regular basis. Such CAT4 analyses should then be discussed at a CAT4 progress meeting. Attainment CAT4-related questions include,

• Who is achieving in line with their individual CAT4 predictions?
• Who’s not achieving as per their CAT4 predicted results?
• Do the school’s CAT4 results exhibit any gender bias. If so, how should the school respond?

For those attainment areas that are lower than the CAT4  predicts, a school should then implement an ‘graduated response’ strategy.

If attainment isn’t aligned with CAT4 scores or there is a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the individual strands of CAT4, the school applies their

GL Education consultants follow a well-established flow chart, which includes appropriate cognitive assessments, like GL Education’s CAT4.

Educational targets are shared with parents; with any confidential info held by counsellors marked as such on those children’s folder (with emotional or social concerns).

How should I prepare for the CAT4?

Well, here’s how GL Assessment introduce their CAT4:

Which skills does the CAT4 assess?

The CAT4 requires knowledge of Literacy skills , Numeracy skills and Abstract reasoning skills.

What are the CAT4 spatial reasoning test questions like?

In the CAT4 spatial reasoning questions you have to manipulate 2D and 3D shapes. So similar to the non-verbal reasoning questions in that sense.
You need to identify each of the different set of shapes’ patterns. In other words the relationships between them. How they relate to each other.

Explaining CAT4 questions on 2D shape combinations

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which shapes can be combined to create the full picture you’ve been presented with in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Take a look at this example question. Which of the options below, makes up the top shape?

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image Matching 2D Shapes

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find which two shapes are identical in each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Regardless of the perspective / angle shown, identify which two 2D shapes are equivalent.

Explaining CAT4 questions on Analysing the Mirror Image

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find the exact mirror image for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question.

Explaining CAT4 questions requiring 3D Cube construction

CAT4 TEST INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question:

 

• • The marking which is the exact opposite of the one that is presented in the question.  

• • or if it’s a flattened out 3D cube, then you must choose which of the answer options represents the fully reconstructed cube. So, when in three dimensions in other words.

CAT4 test practice

Explaining CAT4 question types involving Solid 2D and 3D shapes

INSTRUCTIONS – Find for each CAT4 spatial reasoning question, you must determine which 3D shape is equivalent to the unmade one presented. So, in other words, which of the folded up shapes is represented by the unfolded shape in the questions.

Other key CAT 4 things you need to know

 

• • There are different versions of the CAT4 test, depending on your child’s age.

 

• • The CAT4 test is divided into 8 modules. These vary in length. The shortest modules are 8 minutes long and the longest modules are 10 minutes long.
    The 8 modules are split across 4 types of Reasoning: Verbal, Non-Verbal, Spatial and Quantitative. Each of these is equally weighted when calculating your child’s final score.

 

• • CAT4 Verbal Reasoning modules are called Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies.

 

• • The CAT4 Non-Verbal Reasoning modules are called Figure Classification and Figure Matrices.

 

• • CAT4 Spatial Reasoning modules are called Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition.

 

• •  The CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning modules are called Number Series and Number Analogies. Number Series involves completing sequences. Number Analogies involves completing a third pair of number analogies.

• • CAT4 assessment is not adaptive. This means there is no negative marking so you should encourage your child to answer every question. If they find themselves out of time in a module with a few questions to spare, it’s better that they guess and supply an answer for each question rather than leave the last few blank.

• • Most children find one or two of the four types of Reasoning harder than the others. That’s why we recommend taking
