The full name of the CAT4 test is Cognitive Abilities Test, which is a cognitive ability test. In a word, the CAT4 test is a typical logical ability test and IQ test. In other words, the CAT4 test core tests students’ cognitive abilities, logical reasoning abilities, spatial understanding abilities, analytical and induction abilities, etc.

So, to clearly understand the positioning of this exam, everyone should know that the British International School Entrance Examination is not an exam based on English ability (of course, sufficient English understanding and vocabulary are necessary). To put it more clearly, the CAT4 test helps schools identify smart people among candidates. Once you understand this, the direction of preparation for the international school entrance exam will be much clearer.

The CAT4 test age group is 6~17+ years old, the test duration is 2 hours and 15 minutes, and the test format is also a computer test. The full score of CAT4 is 145 points.

The British national average score is 100 points, and scores between 89 and 111 are the international average. A score below 74 indicates extremely low cognitive ability, and a score above 127 indicates that the child has high cognitive ability. If the score is around 140, the child will belong to the top 5% of the UK's cognitive ability population, which is very rare.

Since the CAT4 test is an "intelligence test", overall, the question type and content of the CAT4 test are very understandable, and parents and friends can basically understand it. Therefore, Teacher Ace will introduce relevant content in this part and also provide detailed answers to some real exam questions. First, this test is divided into four parts: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical reasoning, and spatial reasoning.
