About the CAT4
The Cognitive Abilities Test Fourth Edition (CAT4) is a reasoning ability assessment test designed by GL Assessment to help schools understand and develop students' abilities and potential. The CAT4 is administered throughout the UK and Ireland and in many international schools around, and Level B of the exam is designated for students aged 8.5 to 11. The test is comprised of the following sections:
- Quantitative Reasoning-Number Series and Number Analogies
- Verbal Reasoning-Verbal Classification and Verbal Analogies
- Non-Verbal Reasoning-Figure Classification and Figure Matrices
- Spatial Ability-Figure Analysis and Figure Recognition

The test is designed primarily to measure cognitive reasoning skills, and thus it demands little to no reading comprehension and arithmetical skills, making the test less biased towards native speakers. Therefore, besides being highly effective in identifying students' strengths and weaknesses, thus becoming the UK's most widely used reasoning ability assessment exam, the CAT4 has also become a standard admission tool for many luxurious schools worldwide.

The Importance of Preparing for the CAT4
The CAT4 is a very challenging test due to its strict time limitations and unique question format, and it may appear daunting to students who first face these difficulties on test day. Practicing before the exam can help students feel more comfortable with the structure of the test, thus reducing some of the pressure and anxiety that many students are experiencing when taking this test for the first time.
Although the test is not based on prior experience or any specific academic knowledge, making it challenging to prepare for, it does contain some recurring patterns, and getting familiar with them can increase the chances to score higher. The best way to get to know these patterns and improve the ability to cope with the various question types the test offers is to practice as many sample questions as possible, preferably under similar conditions as the actual test.
