2024 CAT4 Test Practice for Year 7

The correct answer is D-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.

The correct answer is E-‘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.

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.

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.
