Introduction
The CAT4 assessment covers four types of Reasoning:

If you’ve worked through any of our CAT4 Practice Tests, you will have noticed that each Spatial 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 Spatial 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 to make sure your child is fully prepared, so there are no surprises on exam day.
