Take a Free CAT4 Level F Practice Test With Answers

The following CAT4 Level F sample questions are taken from our complete practice package and are also available with a timed practice test version that simulates the exam’s time pressure.

Part 1

Question #1 – Figure Classification

Figure Classification questions show three pictures that share a connection or a characteristic. Choose the answer that shares the same connection/characteristic from the answer choices.

CAT4 Level F Practice Question - Figure Classification

The correct answer is 4.

The common patterns of the three figures are as follows:

A regular polygon is first divided diagonally into two halves; then one half is divided again diagonally into two other halves (quarters).

All dividing lines pass through the corners of the original figure. The two small parts are colored dark grey and white, while the large half is colored light grey.

The only option that fits this description is the 4th one.

The correct answer is therefore 4.

Question #2 – Figure Matrices

Figure Matrix questions are either 2×2 or 3×3 matrices comprised of different pictures. In each row and/or column the pictures change the same way or follow the same rule. Choose an answer that goes in the empty box in the matrix following the same rule.

CAT4 Year 9 & Year 10 Practice Question - Figure Matrices

The correct answer is 3.

In this question, the rules that connect the figures of the first two rows are:

The outer shape makes a one-half rotation clockwise while the inner shape makes one-quarter a rotation anticlockwise when moving from left to right in the same row.

The only option that fits this description is the 3rd one.

Therefore, the 3rd choice is the correct answer.

Figure Classification and Matrices questions are often challenging, especially under time pressure.

Our practice package offers over 100 such questions, giving your child plenty of opportunities to improve.

Part 2

Question #3 – Verbal Classification

Each question provides three words that are alike in some way. Decide how they are alike, and choose the word that belongs in the same group as the first three words.

frame | chandelier | art

A. couch
B. shelf
C. vase
D. pillow
E. table

The correct answer is (B) – shelf.

A frame, chandelier, art, and shelf are all things you can hang.

Question #4 – Verbal Analogies

The first pair of words go together in a certain way. Choose the word that goes together with the third word similarly.

cavity  → filling:  fracture →

A. broken
B. doctor
C. cast
D. medicine
E. emergency

The correct answer is cast.

A cavity requires a filling. A fracture requires a cast. In this case, the first word (a medical condition) requires a solution (the second word).

Question #5 – Number Analogies

Each question provides two pairs of numbers with a certain mathematical connection and another number that shares that connection with one of the answer choices. Find the missing number for the third pair.

[12→ 7] [30 → 10] [54 → ?]

A. 49
B. 18
C. 14
D. 12
E. 10

The correct answer is 14.

Look for the pattern in the first series of numbers. We get from 12 to 7 by dividing by 6 and then, adding 5 [÷6 + 5]. Indeed, 12 ÷ 6 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Likewise, we get from 30 to 10 by dividing by 6 and then, adding 5 [÷6 + 5]. Indeed, 30 ÷ 6 = 5 + 5 = 10.

The next two numbers should follow the same pattern, meaning that the rule between 54 and ? should be [÷6 + 5] as well: 54 ÷ 6 = 9 + 5 = 15, meaning that the correct answer will be 14.

Many students find Number Analogy questions tricky since the connection between the pair of numbers is not obvious and it takes time to figure out.

The best way to tackle this challenge is through practice. The more your child practices, the quicker they’ll recognize patterns and solve these questions accurately.

Part 3

Question #6 – Number Series

Each question provides a series of numbers with a rule. Use the rule to determine which number will come next in the series.

13    19     18     24     22     28     25     ?

A. 26
B. 27
C. 28
D. 29
E. 31

The correct answer is 31.

The pattern that relates the numbers in even positions is always +6, while the pattern that relates the numbers in odd positions increases by 1 after starting from 1. This produces the following pattern: + 6 – 1 + 6 – 2 + 6 – 3 …

Since the last two numbers are 28 and 25 (-3), we have a (+6) pattern for the next pair. Hence, the next number will be 25 + 6 = 31.

Therefore, 31 is the correct answer.

Question #7 – Figure Analysis

Each question shows a paper folded several times and then punched with holes. The answer choices contain unfolded papers with punched-in holes. You need to determine which of the answer choices is the final product of the unfolded punched-in paper.

Sample Question - Figure Analysis

The correct answer is 1.

First, the square was folded diagonally in half from top-right to bottom-left corners.

Then, the remaining half is folded again diagonally in quarters, from top-left to bottom-right. In this way, only the bottom quarter remains visible.

Then, two triangular holes were punched in the folded quarter: one near the middle of the bottom side and the other slightly above the middle of the right side of the triangular quarter of the shape.

Since the paper was folded in half twice, the holes were punched through four layers of paper. The holes will mirror first diagonally from bottom to left, then again diagonally from bottom-left to top-right.

Therefore, when the paper is unfolded it will have eight holes: 2 holes x 4 layers = 8 holes, as described above, where the diagonal creases will act as mirrors. In this way, we obtain the first figure in the options.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

Question #8 – Figure Recognition

Choose the answer choice that contains the given shape. The shape must keep its size and orientation.

Sample Question - Figure Matrices

The correct answer is 2.

The figure shows a kind of T-shape where the tail is directed vertically down. The dimensions of the shape fit those of the options box.

Despite many other unrelated lines, the only option that contains such a shape with these features is the second one.
