Frequently Asked Questions

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 ages 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

Level D includes more complex patterns, faster pacing, and deeper reasoning demands than level C.


The CAT4 has a unique question format and strict time limitations, making it seem daunting to many students. Practicing prior to the exam can help your child feel more comfortable with the testing format and the various question types. Properly preparing can also give the advantage of recognizing the strengths and weaknesses, and it can help eliminate the feeling of stress under time constraints.

Practicing with TestPrep Online's CAT4 Level D PrepPack allows your child to get familiar with the test and gives them the confidence needed to succeed. 

Upon finishing each practice test in the pack, you can review their test using a detailed score report that shows the total number of correct and incorrect answers, detailing which ones were answered correctly and which incorrectly. With this report, you can identify your child's strengths and weaknesses and determine where to focus their efforts to become fully prepared in all the various topics on the test.

In addition to viewing the score report, there are also explanations for each question. For questions that have been answered incorrectly, the explanation can be used to understand what was done wrong and how to correctly solve it. For questions that have been answered correctly, the explanation can still help introduce you to new methods and approaches for solving those types of questions.


The pack includes simulations, quizzes,and score explanation guides aligned with CAT4 Level D.


Once you purchase your PrepPack, you will receive a confirmation email with a temporary password that you can use to log in to your account. After this, you will have complete access to all of the practice materials.


Your child can practice and access all materials as often as they want, as long as the license is valid. Each pack has its own license time, check before you purchase to know how long you will have access to the PrepPack.


Yes. All CAT4 simulations and quizzes can be retaken as many times as you want during the license period.


Parents appreciate the structured lessons, authentic CAT4 simulations, and confidence-focused approach that reduces test anxiety and improves performance.
