The CAT4, or the Fourth Edition Cognitive Abilities Test, is a collection of tests developed by GL Assessment to help parents and teachers understand students' reasoning abilities and academic potential. The test has become increasingly popular, and it is now widely used by many schools in the United Kingdom and Ireland and many international schools worldwide.
The test is primarily focused on measuring cognitive reasoning skills, regardless of past knowledge accumulated in previous studies. Since the test is not based on reading comprehension and arithmetical skills, it is less biased towards native English speakers or students with specific academic knowledge. This test feature has made it an excellent tool for identifying children's potential to succeed. It has thus been widely used as an entrance exam to many private luxurious schools around the world.

CAT4 Level C Test Practice Question-Non Verbal Reasoning #1
The correct answer is E.
Each picture includes two shapes; an outer shape patterned with diagonal lines, and another inner shape.
In addition, the inner shape has one side less than the outer shape.
Answer E fits the pattern and therefore it is the correct answer.
Answers A and D are wrong because the backgrounds are white rather than the inner shape.
Answer B is wrong because the inner shape has the same number of edges as the shape on the outside.
Answer C is wrong because the outer shape (the triangle) has one less edge than the inner shape (the parallelogram), instead of the other way around.
CAT4 Level C Test Practice Question-Non Verbal Reasoning #1
The correct answer is D.
Answer choices A, C, and E include fewer than 12 holes, so they can be eliminated.
If you look closely at answer choice B, you can see that the quarters do not mirror each other in this way. The holes in the top half are positioned exactly the same as those in the bottom half instead of mirroring them.
We are left with the 4th answer choice, which is the correct answer.
The CAT4 has a unique question format and strict time limitations, which results in a challenging experience for students facing the test. An excellent way to ease the pressure and improve the capability to deal with the test's daunting nature is to seek proper preparation before the exam.
