CAT4 Level G PrepPack FAQs
The Cognitive Abilities Test Fourth Edition (CAT4) is one of the most popular reasoning skills tests for pupils in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Provided by GL Assessment, the test is designed to measure cognitive reasoning skills without focusing on reading comprehension or arithmetical skills. This makes the students’ previous academic knowledge less critical. 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
Learn more about the CAT4 test format.
The test is also widely used as part of the admission process to many acclaimed schools around the UK and Ireland as well as to various international schools around the world. Level G of the CAT4 is the highest level of difficulty for this test. It is designated for school year 11 and above (Y11+), catering to children between 14 and 17+. Level G is the most commonly administered level for admission purposes worldwide due to its high complexity and difficulty compared to the lower levels of the test. For this reason, it is highly recommended to obtain proper preparation.
CAT4 Level G is the most advanced assessment level, designed for students facing the highest reasoning demands across all four batteries. Its structure and difficulty are distinct from earlier levels, so preparation focuses specifically on advanced question types, timing, and strategies. This ensures students fully develop the skills needed for senior-level performance and post-16 pathways.
Why Preparation for Level G is Essential
At this stage, the CAT4 results are no longer just "baselines"—they are powerful predictors of future success.
-
A-Level & IB Readiness: Schools use Level G results to generate indicators for A-Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) grades. Preparation ensures your child’s results accurately reflect their potential, helping them secure spots in their preferred subjects.
-
Success in International Schools: For students in international systems, Level G is a vital tool for benchmarking performance against global standards. Mastery of these reasoning skills allows them to adapt quickly to diverse and challenging curricula.
-
Navigating Post-16 Transitions: Whether applying for college, sixth form, or competitive apprenticeships, a strong cognitive profile gives students the confidence to tackle interview logic puzzles and advanced entrance exams.
The CAT4 Level G for Year 11+ is a multiple-choice test consisting of four test batteries, that each of them is comprised of two short tests, and is meant for examining different cognitive abilities:
| Verbal Reasoning | Verbal Classification Verbal Analogies |
| Quantitative Reasoning | Number Analogies Number Series |
| Non-verbal Reasoning | Figure Classification Figure Matrices |
| Spatial Ability | Figure Analysis Figure Recognition |
These short tests are administered in three parts:
Part 1 | Question Number | Test Time |
Figure Classification | 24 questions | 10 minutes |
Figure Matrices | 24 questions | 10 minutes |
Part 2 |
|
|
Verbal Classification | 24 questions | 8 minutes |

Since the CAT4 is not based on past experience or previous academic knowledge, the best preparation tactic would be to use practice tests to get yourself acquainted with the specifications of the actual test.
As in many cognitive assessments, the CAT4 is based on recurring patterns. Getting familiar with them and practicing through sample questions based on the same format as the actual test, can significantly increase your chances to score high.
Our PrepPack includes test simulations with sample questions and explanations to help your child prepare for all sections of the test.
