About the CAT4 Level F

The Fourth Edition Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) is an exam developed by GL Assessment to help schools understand their students' abilities and academic potential. By monitoring the students' performance on the test, teachers can use the test results to identify individual strengths and weaknesses and make implications to the school's studying process. 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

the CAT4 has also become widely common as an international admission tool for luxurious schools around the world. Level F of the CAT4 exam is designated for UK's year nine and year ten (Y9 & Y10), catering to children between 12 and 15.

CAT4 Level F Sample Questions

CAT4 Level F Test Practice Question-Quantitative Reasoning #1

What number comes next?

View Explanation

The correct answer is C-67. In this series, the pattern is as follows: First 3 is subtracted, then 3 is subtracted again, then 5 is added, then 3 is subtracted, then 3 is subtracted again, then 5 is added, and so on. The pattern is: -3, -3, +5, - 3, -3, +5 … The last three numbers are 68, 73, and 70. 73 is 68 added by 5, and 70 is 73 subtracted by 3. According to the pattern, after one subtraction of 3 there is another subtraction of 3. Thus, the next number in the series will be the result of subtracting 3 from 70: 70 - 3 = 67. Therefore, 67 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is B: disease. Helmets protect from injuries as vaccinations protect from diseases.

CAT4 Level F Test Practice Question-non verbal reasoning#1

Wrong

Correct!

Wrong

View Explanation

The correct answer is D.

In the bottom row, we should have the same relationship. We can eliminate answer choice C because it contains a grey heart and not a white one. We can also eliminate choices A and E because they contain frowny faces and not smiley faces. Finally, we can eliminate answer choice B because we should have a smiley face in the upper-right corner (where there was a down arrow in the left frame), and a sun in the upper-left and lower-right corners (where in the left frame we had up arrows), but we have the opposite. We are left with choice D as the only correct answer.

#Note that additional practice questions for the Non-Verbal Reasoning battery (Figure analogies + Figure classification) can be found on our CAT4 Level F practice packs.


CAT4 Level F Test Practice Question-spatial ability#1

Look at the geometric shapes shown in the image. Which shape among options A to E most closely resembles the unlabeled shape at the top when folded or manipulated? Choose the best matching option.

CAT4 Level F SA

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Correct!

View Explanation

The correct answer is (E).

The given shape contains diagonal lines and two parallel horizontal lines.

Answer (A) is missing a line segment to form the top vertex in order to form the given shape, and therefore it can be ruled out.

Answer (B) includes a pair of horizontal lines but is missing a vertex on the right in order to form the correct shape, making it also incorrect.

Answer (C) has two parallel horizontal lines, however they are too far apart to form the given shape, thus it is eliminated.

Answer (D) includes a shape similar to the given shape, however its left side has a different angle than the left side of the given shape (As shown in the picture below). In addition, the vertex on the right has a different angle than the one in the given shape. Therefore, it does not include the given shape and it is also incorrect.

#Note that additional practice questions for the Spatial Ability battery (Paper folding + Figure recognition) can be found on our CAT4 Level F practice packs.
