Free CAT4 lessons

CAT4 has eight tests, two in each of four batteries. Each lesson shows a practice question, works it through, and names the traps hidden in the wrong answers.

Verbal reasoning

Verbal classificationThree words that are alike in some way. Your child picks the word that belongs with them.
Verbal analogiesTwo words that go together, then a third word with a gap. Your child picks the word that goes with the third word in the same way as the first pair.

Quantitative reasoning

Number analogiesPairs of numbers that follow the same rule. Your child finds the rule from the complete pairs, then uses it to finish the last pair.
Number seriesA row of numbers that follow a pattern, with the next one missing. Your child works out the pattern and picks the number that comes next.

Non-verbal reasoning

Figure classificationThree pictures that are alike in one way. Your child picks the fourth picture that belongs with them.
Figure matricesA grid of pictures with one square empty. The pictures change in a regular way across the rows and down the columns, and your child picks the picture that fills the gap.

Spatial reasoning

Figure analysisA square of paper is folded, then holes are punched in it. Your child picks how the paper looks when it is opened out again.
Figure recognitionA shape, and then five busy pictures. Exactly one picture has the shape hidden inside it, the same way round. Your child finds it.
