CCAT Practice Pack — Grade 1

Answer Key — CCAT Grade 1

1. 1. B — coconut is not something you use at school; the other pictures all are — answer B.
2. 2. B — eagle, kite, balloon are all things that fly. So is airplane — answer B. The other pictures are not things that fly.
3. 3. A — The top row goes from 5 to 4 — one fewer. Doing the same to 3 gives 2. The others: B copies the top row's answer; C leaves the bottom group unchanged.
4. 4. B — 1 + 6 = 7, so the empty box needs 6 shapes. The others: A one too few; C counts the whole right side instead of the missing part.
5. 5. C — The rods show 6, 5, 4, 3 beads — 1 bead fewer each time. The next rod has 2. The others: A stops one bead short; B goes one bead too far.
6. 6. B — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies a different rule than the top row shows.
7. 7. B — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 1 punch through 2 layers leaves 2 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; C doubled the count without the on-crease merge.
8. 8. B — What the three figures share: every figure is an outline (unfilled). B shares it too. The others don't: A repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; C solid black instead of the shared property.
9. 9. B — airplane goes with cloud because the first one travels where the second is. In the same way ship goes with water — answer B. The other pictures do not go with ship that way.
10. 10. A — llama is not something you find at home; the other pictures all are — answer A.
11. 11. B — popcorn, candy, donut are all sweet treats. So is lollipop — answer B. The other pictures are not sweet treats.
12. 12. C — The top row goes from 2 to 4 — two more. Doing the same to 3 gives 5. The others: A leaves the bottom group unchanged; B one too few.
13. 13. C — 2 + 3 = 5, so the empty box needs 3 shapes. The others: A one too many; B one too few.
14. 14. C — The rods show 5, 4, 3, 2 beads — 1 bead fewer each time. The next rod has 1. The others: A goes one bead too far; B stops one bead short.
15. 15. B — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A right change, wrong figure shape; C applies a different rule than the top row shows.
16. 16. C — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 2 punches through 2 layers leaves 4 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; B one hole drifted off its mirrored position.
17. 17. C — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. C shares it too. The others don't: A a different shape from the shared one; B solid black instead of the shared property.
18. 18. A — firetruck goes with fire because the first one comes when there is the second. In the same way umbrella goes with cloud — answer A. The other pictures do not go with umbrella that way.
19. 19. B — pizza is something you eat for a meal — answer B. The other pictures are not.
20. 20. C — cat, rabbit, fish are all animals people keep as pets. So is bird — answer C. The other pictures are not animals people keep as pets.
