Who it's for

- Teachers using materials in class for non-commercial education
Our editorial purpose
Our goal is to publish educational content that is accurate, practical, and genuinely useful for families and schools. We aim to make CAT4 preparation easier to understand without oversimplifying how the test works.
We focus on people-first educational content. That means we prioritise clarity, learning value, and trust over hype, noise, or search-driven filler.
Our editorial process
Every piece of content passes through the same four-stage process before it reaches readers.
Research & plan
We review official frameworks and real CAT4 formats, while also paying attention to the questions families and teachers ask most often.
Write & simplify
We draft questions, explanations, and guidance with a strong focus on clarity, structure, and what actually helps a learner make progress.
Solve & test
We solve and check content internally to confirm logic, difficulty, consistency, and learning flow before it is published.
Publish & improve
We publish only when the page is clear and useful, then continue improving it when guidance changes, new issues are found, or better explanations are needed.

What "Reviewed by" means on CAT4 Prep
When a page carries a reviewer note, it means the page has benefited from educational input intended to improve accuracy, clarity, and learning quality.
It does not mean the reviewer necessarily wrote every word on the page. It means the page has received professional review support relevant to its educational purpose.
How we update content
- When guidance changes: content is reviewed annually, or earlier if the exam format changes.
- When a mistake is found: the issue is reviewed by the team and replaced or corrected where needed.
- When a page can be improved for clarity: we update it regularly based on need.
- When a reviewer suggests a correction: we review the page again and decide whether the suggestion should be added.
