The Ultimate Guide to Understanding and Mastering the CAT4 Test

The correct answer is 2.
All pictures consist of two identical shapes, one bigger and one smaller. Two figures are
touching, and the smaller one is always on the right side. The only choice that follows that
pattern is 2.
Answer 1 contains two identical figures, but they are not touching, and smaller one is below the
bigger one.
In answer 3, the figures touch, but the smaller one is on top of the bigger one.
In answer 4, the figures are overlapping, not just touching.
In answer 5, the figures don’t touch each other.

In this question, the pattern is as follows:
• Each picture contains one small figure inside of a bigger figure.
• The internal figure is always in a different shape than the outer one.
• The internal figure is always in the upper half of the outer figure never in the center.
Answers 2,3 and 4 have different shapes inside and outside but they are not in the upper half (2
and 3 are in the lower half while 4 is in the center).
Answer 5 does have an internal shape in the upper half but it is the identical shape inside and
outside.
We are left with the 1st choice as the only possible correct answer.

The correct answer is 5.

• The paper has one hole punched and is folded 3 times.
• If we open the first crease, which covers one hole, it would result in the next picture having 2
holes.
• If we open the second crease, which covers 2 holes, it would result in the next picture having 4
holes.
• If we open the third crease, which covers 4 holes, it would result in the final picture having 8
holes.
Answers 1 and 3 are incorrect because they do not have 8 holes.
Answers 2 and 4 are incorrect because the hole placement is wrong.

The correct answer is 1.

• The paper has one hole punched and is folded 4 times.
• If we open the first crease which covers one hole it would result in the next picture having 2
holes.
• If we open the second crease which covers 2 holes it would result in the next picture having 3
holes.
• If we open the third crease which covers 3 holes, the next picture still has 3 holes because the
folded area was not affected.
• If we open the fourth crease which covers 3 it would result in the final picture having 4
holes.
Answers 3,4 and 5 are incorrect because they do not have 4 holes.
Answer 2 is incorrect because the hole placement is wrong.

The correct answer is 4.
In this question, in the top row, from left to right, the first figure has a circle overlapping with the
square, with the circle being white and bigger than the square. The second figure circle turns
black and is now fitting inside the square.

Therefore, for the second row, the first figure is the white circle overlapping with the triangle
being the bigger of the two. Then it should transform into a black circle and fit inside the triangle.
Hence, the 4th choice is the correct answer.

The correct answer is 3.
In this question, the pictures consist of varying shapes that have different combinations of lines
and circles in them. There are two different patterns, one for the shapes and one for the lines
and circles inside.
The pattern for the shapes is that they move along one space, to the left as you look down the
rows, or upwards if you look across the columns. Notice that each row and each column include
exactly one of each shape: one irregular hexagon, one shield, and one circle.
The pattern for the lines and circles is as follows: across the rows from left to right, or up the
columns from bottom to top, in the third picture (the right or the bottom), the number of triangles
is.
the result of subtracting lines and circles (1st pic - 2nd pic = 3rd pic). That means that for the
missing picture, we have circle-line-line-line minus line-line, which equals circle-line.
Answer.
Based on the shapes pattern, the missing picture should be a shield, thus eliminating
answers 2, 4 and 5.
Based on the circle/lines pattern, we need 1 circle and 1 line, thus eliminating 1.
The only remaining possible answer is 3.

The correct answer is 2.

The shape presented includes a trapezoid flipped on its side joined with a small triangle on its
side.
• Answer choice 1 does not have any trapezoid shape on its side and so this answer is
incorrect.
• Answer choice 3 has a trapezoid joined with a triangle however triangle is joined on the nonparallel
• Answer choice 4 has only 1 triangle but it is not the same shape as the triangle in the given
shape.

• Answer choice 5 does not have any trapezoid on its side, therefore, it cannot contain the given
shape

The correct answer is 3.
The given shape is the merge of two trapezoids turned on the right side and touching on their
parallel lines (shorter parallel line of the bigger trapezoid is touching, the longer parallel line of
the smaller trapezoid).
• Answers 1, 4 and 5 do not have the correct type of trapezoid ( isosceles trapezoid),

• Answer choice 2 does have the correct type of trapezoid, but it is touching a triangle, not another
trapezoid.

The correct answer is 4.
• The shape is two different size triangles touching on their angles only. Bigger triangle is in the
upright position while the smaller one is tilted left (counterclockwise).
• Answers 1 and 2 have many triangles touching and few that are touching by the angle but
none are the correct shape or in the correct position.
• Answer choice 3 has two triangles touching in the same way and by the correct angle however
the shape of the smaller triangle is not matching.
• Answer choice 5 has no triangles touching by the angle.

Wrong.

The correct answer is

5.

• The paper has two holes punched and is folded 4 times.
• If we open the first crease, which covers one hole, it would result in the following picture having 2
holes.
• If we open the second crease, which covers 2 holes, it would result in the following picture having 4
holes.
• If we open the third crease, which covers 4 holes, the following picture has 5 holes.
Answers 2 and 4 are incorrect because they do not have 5 holes.
Answers 1 and 3 are incorrect because the hole placement is wrong.

The correct answer is C.
We have a series of numbers: 3, 6, 9, 12, and there’s a missing number that we’re searching for. Take a good look at the numbers. Do you notice any pattern? It’s pretty cool! Each number in the series is 3 more than the previous one. So, to find the missing number, we need to add 3 to the last number in the series, which is 12. When we do that, we get 15! So, the following number in the series is 15.

In this series, the pattern is that each number is obtained by doubling the previous number.
Starting with 3, we double it to get 6. Then, we double 6 to get 12, double 12 to get 24, and so on.
To continue the pattern, we must double the last number in the series, 48.
48 doubled is 96. Therefore, 96 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is A.
Look at the numbers in the first pair and try to find the rule they follow.
How do we get from 8 to 16?
We see that if we multiply the first number by 2, we get the second number:
8 × 2 = 16.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well?
When we multiply 12 by 2, we get 24:
12 × 2 = 24.
The rule “multiply the first number by 2 to get the second” works in both pairs, so in the next pair, we should also multiply by 2:
6 × 2 = 12.
Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is B.
Look at the numbers in the first pair and try to find the rule they follow.
How do we get from 25 to 5?
We see that if we take the square root of the first number, we get the second number:
√25 = 5.
Does this rule work for the second pair, as well?
When we take the square root of 49, we get 7:
√49 = 7.
The rule “take the square root of the first number to get the second” works in both pairs, so in
the next pair, we should also take the square root:
√64 = 8.
Therefore, 8 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is A.

Hot is a term describing a high temperature, and warm is a term describing a moderate
temperature. The same goes for cold: cold describes a low temperature. Moreover, freezing is a
term describing an extremely low temperature, similar to how hot is an extreme temperature.
Cool, icy, tepid, and scorching are incorrect as they do not represent an extremely low
temperature like freezing.

The correct answer is A. "Big" means large, and "huge" means even larger. "Small" means moderate, and "tiny" means extremely small, like "big" is an extreme size. "Enormous," "colossal," "gigantic," and "mammoth" are not correct because they don't describe a tiny size like "tiny."

These questions show us three words that are connected. Your mission is to find the word from the answer choices that share the same connection.

The correct answer is C.
Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits are all common pets that people can have. Similarly, the word Pet also
shares the same connection as it refers to animals that are kept and cared for by humans. A)
The animal is incorrect as it is the general category to which dogs, cats, and rabbits belong, but it
doesn’t directly share the same connection.

The correct answer is C.
Square, Triangle, and Circle are all different shapes. Similarly, the word Shape also shares the same connection as it refers to the form or outline of an object.
