About the CAT 4 Level D
The Cognitive Abilities Test fourth edition (CAT4) is designed to help schools understand their students’ abilities and how to develop them. The test helps identify individual students' strengths and weaknesses while also monitoring the performances of different groups of students. In addition, the CAT4 is widely used as an entrance exam to many luxurious schools in the UK and Ireland as well as to international schools around the world. The CAT4 exam is administered to students from age 6 to 17, and the Level D version is designated for year 7 in the UK, catering to children between the ages of 10 to 12.
It 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

CAT 4 Level D Sample Questions
| CAT4 Level D Test Practice Question-Quantitative Reasoning #1 |
|
[15 → 50] [10 → 35] [7 → ?] |
|
Answer & Explanation ▼ | ▲ The correct answer is 26. The simple possible connection between the numbers in the first pair (15 → 50) is: 15 + 35 = 50 However, the second pair (10 → 35) does not share that same connection: 10 + 35 ≠ 35 (notice that the difference is 25: 10 + 25 = 35) Therefore, there must be a more complex connection. Since 50 is not divisible by 15, a possible connection could be using multiplication and addition/subtraction. Some of the possibilities are: 15 × 2 + 20 = 50 15 × 3 + 5 = 50 15 × 4 – 10 = 50 More connections can be found; however, you should try the simplest ones first. Checking those connections on the second pair shows: 10 × 2 + 20 = 40 ≠ 35 10 × 3 + 5 = 35 10 × 4 – 10 = 30 ≠ 35 The rule which applies for both pairs is the second one, which is: X × 3 + 5, where X is the number on the left side of the pair. Using this rule on the third pair, you can find the answer: 7 × 3 + 5 = 26 Therefore, the correct answer is 26. #Note that additional practice questions for the Quantitative Reasoning battery (number analogies + number series) can be found on our CAT4 Level D practice packs. |
| CAT4 Level D Test Practice Question-Verbal Reasoning #1 |
|
Halt conclude cease |
|
Answer & Explanation ▼ | ▲ The correct answer is ‘pause’. All the words above describe the action of stopping in a certain context. The word ‘pause’ means to stop temporarily, so it fits the category. ‘Walk’ and ‘go’ are incorrect because they describe things that move forward. ‘Slowdown’ and ‘decelerate’ are incorrect because they describe something that is decreasing speed, but not actually stopping. #Note that additional practice questions for the Verbal Reasoning battery (Verbal analogies + Verbal classification) can be found on our CAT4 Level D practice packs. |
CAT4 Level D Test Practice Question-Non Verbal Reasoning #1
The correct answer is A.
In the top row we have two figures - how do they go together?
We can see that the two figures look similar, but:
In the bottom row, we have a single figure, and we need to find a figure that will go together with it in the same way that the two figures above go together.
We can immediately eliminate answer choice 3 because it belongs to the family of figures in the top row, and not the bottom row.
We can also eliminate answer choice 2 because it has the same number of sides as the first shape.
When we look at the other three answer choices, the only one that matches the pattern is answer choice 1.
Answer choice 4 includes open shapes and not closed ones.
Answer choice 5 includes nearly all the changes we need, but the triangle is not flipped on its side.
Therefore the 1st answer choice is the correct answer.
#Note that additional practice questions for the Non-Verbal Reasoning battery (Figure analogies + Figure classification) can be found on our CAT4 Level D practice packs.
CAT4 Level D Test Practice Question-Spatial ability #1
The correct answer is E.
- First, the paper was folded diagonally in half from the upper-right corner to the lower-left corner. Then it was folded again from the upper-left corner to the lower-right corner.
- Then, four holes were cut out of four-layer of paper.
- Therefore, when the paper is unfolded it will have sixteen holes (4 holes x 4 layers) which will mirror each other across the diagonals of the paper like this:
Answer choice 4 has fewer than sixteen holes, so it can be eliminated.
Answer choice 1 has more than sixteen holes, so it can be eliminated as well.
Looking at answer choice 2, we can see that although it has the right number of holes, they are in the wrong place. This can be seen when we compare the location of the holes on the bottom of the square to the ones in the original image above.
In answer choice 3, we can see that the holes on the sides of the square are placed in the same position, and do not fit the diagonal mirroring pattern we need.
We are left with the 5th 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 D practice packs.
