    Introduction

     

    The CAT4 assessment covers four types of Reasoning:

     

    • Verbal Reasoning
    • Non-Verbal Reasoning
    • Quantitative Reasoning
    • Spatial Reasoning

     

    For each of these, we’ve created a detailed breakdown of the various types of questions that can appear in your child’s exam. This means you can take a systematic approach to exam preparation, ensuring every possibility is covered.

     

    In this article, we’ll explain a little more about the possible sub-topics for CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning.

     

    Quantitative Reasoning in the CAT4 Test is covered in the following modules:

     

    a) Number Series

    b) Number Analogies

     

    For each of these, we’ve further categorised every possible question based on the specific skill being assessed.

     

    We’ve listed these breakdowns below:

     

    Number Series

     

    Question Type A: Adding a Constant

    Question Type B: Subtracting a Constant

    Question Type C: Adding a Variable

    Question Type D: Subtracting a Variable

    Question Type E: One Sequence – Recurring

    Question Type F: Two Sequences – Recurring

    Question Type G: Three Sequences – Recurring

    Question Type H: Multiplication and Division

    Question Type I: Combining Numbers

    Question Type J: Square Numbers

    Question Type K: Mirror Images

     

    Number Analogies

     

    Question Type A – Adding a Constant

    Question Type B: Subtracting a Constant

    Question Type C: Multiplication

    Question Type D: Division

    Question Type E: Multiply then Add

    Question Type F: Multiply then Subtract

    Question Type G: Divide then Add

    Question Type H: Divide then Subtract

    Question Type I: Subtract then Divide

    Question Type J: Add then Divide

    Question Type K: Fractions

     

    If you’ve worked through any of our  CAT4 Practice Tests, you will have noticed that each Quantitative Reasoning question includes one of these sub-question tags in the explanation. This allows you to identify the types of questions your child finds most challenging as you work through the practice tests.

     

    Our CAT4 Quantitative Reasoning Course then offers bitesized video tutorials explaining how to tackle each of these sub-questions, allowing your child to address any specific weaknesses.

     

    We hope you find this information beneficial. As you can see, we ensure our resources are designed so that your child is fully prepared and there are no surprises on exam day.
