The Cognitive Abilities Test (or CAT4) is a cognitive test developed by GL Assessment to support schools in the understanding of students’ individual abilities and academic potential. In addition, the CAT4 is widely used as an entrance exam to many private and public schools in the UK and Ireland as well as schools around the world. The CAT4 level A exam is made according to the specifications of Year 4 in the UK, catering to children between the ages of 7 to 9.
The CAT4 level A is comprised of the following sections:

The correct answer is 95. In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by 15. The pattern is: +15, +15, +15, ... The last number in this series is 80, so the next number in the series should be larger than 80 by 15. 80 + 15 = 95 Therefore, 95 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is toes. A pentagon has five sides just as a foot has five toes. Five is incorrect because it does not relate to foot in the same way that sides relates to pentagon Rather, it is the relation itself for each pair, as they each have five of something. Fingers is incorrect because they are on the hand and not the foot. Fingernails is incorrect because they are on the hand and not the foot. Square is incorrect because it is related to the first pair of words (shape related).

The correct answer is B.
The relationship between the first two figures is as follows: the second figure is the white part of the first figure, rotated 90° clockwise. The correct answer must have the same relationship with the third figure.
This means that B is the correct answer.

The correct answer is C.
Since answer C has three holes in the same place that they were originally punched, and three more holes that are diagonally mirroring them, equally distanced from the crease, this is the correct answer.
Answers A, B, D, and E have either more or less than six holes, so they can all be eliminated.
We are left with the 3rd choice, which is the correct answer.
#Note that additional practice questions for the Spatial Ability battery (Paper folding + Figure recognition) can be found on our CAT4 Level A practice packs.
