Frequently Asked Questions
The CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test Fourth Edition) Level F is a standardized assessment specifically designed for students in Year 9 (UK) or Grade 8 (International). Unlike traditional exams that test curriculum knowledge, Level F measures a student's innate cognitive potential across four key batteries: Verbal, Quantitative, Non-Verbal, and Spatial reasoning. This level is often used by schools to set academic targets for GCSEs and other advanced certifications.
The CAT4 assessment's distinctive question layout and strict time constraints might appear quite daunting to some students. Engaging in proper preparation before the exam can help alleviate some of the pressure and anxiety that frequently accompany unfamiliar tests, supporting kindergarten readiness for younger children.
Becoming acquainted with the intricate test structure and diverse question formats can enhance your child's confidence and provide them with a much greater sense of ability when confronting challenges during the actual test.
Considering that the CAT4 doesn't rely on past experiences or prior academic knowledge, the most effective way to prepare is by using practice tests to familiarize your child with the test's requirements.
Similar to many cognitive assessments, the CAT4 follows consistent patterns. Gaining an understanding of these patterns and practicing with sample questions that simulate the actual test format can greatly enhance your child's potential for achieving a higher score.
Level F consists of eight short tests divided into four "batteries." Students will face advanced challenges such as:
-
Verbal Reasoning: Analogies and classification.
-
Quantitative Reasoning: Number analogies and complex series.
-
Non-Verbal Reasoning: Figure classification and matrices.
-
Spatial Reasoning: Figure recognition and advanced mental folding.
The full assessment is typically broken into three parts, totaling approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes of testing time. However, schools often administer these across different sessions. Each individual sub-test is strictly timed, ranging from 8 to 12 minutes
Our Level F packs are engineered to mirror the digital interface students will encounter on test day.
Essential Pack ($59): Includes 1 full-length Level F simulation and 390+ practice questions.
Extended Pack ($79): Offers 2 full-length simulations and 765+ practice questions for comprehensive mastery. Both packs include our "Understand Your Score" guide, which helps parents interpret Standard Age Scores (SAS) and national percentiles.
Free worksheets are often outdated or too generic for the specific difficulty of Level F. Our resources are teacher-created and updated for the 2025 -2026 school year. We provide step-by-step explanations for every question, teaching students the logic behind the answer rather than just the answer itself.
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.
Absolutely. Both the Essential and Extended packs offer unlimited retakes. This allows students to revisit difficult spatial or quantitative problems until the reasoning patterns become second nature.
