Part 1
Question #1 – Figure Classification
The 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.
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
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.
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 in the same way or follow the same rule. Choose an answer that goes in the empty box in the matrix following the same rule.
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
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.
How These Practice Questions Are Made
Each question is created step by step to give your child the best possible preparation for the CAT4:
1. Based on Official Examples – The process begins with collecting official CAT4 sample questions and demos, so practice feels just like the real test.
2. Matched to Every Question Type – Each type is carefully matched to the format, structure, and difficulty your child will face.
3. Written to Mirror the Actual Test – New items work the same way as the real test and come with clear, child-friendly explanations to guide learning.
4. Reviewed by a Second Expert – Another teacher or test specialist checks every question to ensure it is accurate and easy to understand.
5. Improved with Feedback – Feedback from parents and students is used to make the practice even more effective over time.
This way, your child walks into the test feeling prepared, confident, and ready to do their best.
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
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is (B) – shelf.
A frame, a chandelier, art, and a 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 →
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C. 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 → ?]
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C. 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 = 14, 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 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.
The complete practice package offers over 70 such questions, giving your child plenty of opportunities to sharpen their skills and improve.
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 ?
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is E. 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.
Show Correct Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is 4.
The paper is first folded from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner.
It is then folded again from the bottom-left corner towards the top-right corner, and then from bottom towards top.
A hole is punched into the paper which passes through eight layers of the paper.
When the paper is unfolded once, a hole appears as a mirror image of the original hole.
When the paper is unfolded again, these holes mirror symmetrically.
At the end, when the paper is fully unfolded, these holes mirror symmetrically again, resulting in a total of eight holes.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
Question #8 – Figure Recognition
Choose the answer choice that contains the given shape. The shape must keep its size and orientation.
