About
Welcome to CAT4-Prep — your trusted guide for mastering the CAT4 cognitive ability assessment.
Whether you're preparing for entry into a selective school or simply looking to sharpen cognitive skills, CAT4-Prep is designed to give you the tools, clarity, and confidence you need.
The CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) is widely used by schools to evaluate a student's reasoning ability across verbal, non-verbal, quantitative, and spatial domains. It's not just a test — it's a diagnostic tool for educational planning, used to identify strengths, uncover areas for growth, and support students at all levels.
At CAT4-Prep, we understand the importance of this journey. That's why we've created a focused, distraction-free space where learners, parents, and educators can find:
- ✔ Authentic CAT4-style practice questions with worked solutions
- ✔ Free sample tests covering every level (from Level X to G)
- ✔ In-depth explanations of test formats, question types, and scoring
- ✔ Expert strategies to approach each section with confidence
- ✔ Study tips tailored to the unique structure of CAT4
Whether you're a Year 3 student just starting out or a Year 12 candidate facing higher-level reasoning challenges, our materials are here to help you succeed. And if you're a parent? You'll find clear guidance and tools to support your child at every stage.
