Free CAT4 practice test — Grade 7

10 original CAT4-style questions for Grade 7, with answers and full explanations. No signup needed.

These free CAT4-style questions practice the four reasoning batteries — verbal, non-verbal, quantitative, and spatial — used by British-curriculum schools worldwide.

The CAT4 measures reasoning rather than learned content, so format familiarity and pacing are the fastest levers a parent can pull.
