CCAT Practice Pack — Grade 7

Answer Key — CCAT Grade 7

1. 1. C — Smiling and joking describe his behaviour (demeanour), which observers found out of place (inappropriate). Silence and absence contradict the joking.
2. 2. E — All three are parts of a plant, and so is phloem. The others are parts of animals.
3. 3. D — Each number is squared. 12 × 12 = 144.
4. 4. E — ▲ = 12 × 5 = 60, so ▲ ÷ 5 = 12. ◆ = 70 − 17 = 53, so ◆ × 4 = 212. Then ? × 4 = 212 + 12 = 224, and ? = 224 ÷ 4 = 56.
5. 5. E — The amount added grows by 1 each step. Adding 6 to 13 gives 19.
6. 6. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; B applies only one of the two changes; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E right change, wrong figure shape.
7. 7. C — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 4 punches through 4 layers leaves 16 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A mirrored across the wrong axis; B treated the mirror as a slide — hole positions right, orientation never flips; D one hole drifted off its mirrored position; E shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper.
8. 8. D — What the three figures share: every figure has a dot above it. D shares it too. The others don't: A repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; B the dot sits below instead of above; C no dot above it; E solid black instead of the shared property.
9. 9. C — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." cub → bear, so caterpillar → butterfly.
10. 10. B — If studies fail to detect an effect, the benefits are slight (marginal) at best. Enormous and proven contradict the failed studies.
11. 11. B — All three describe a mocking attitude, and so does derisive.
12. 12. B — Each number is squared. 9 × 9 = 81.
13. 13. A — ◆ = 25 × 3 = 75, so ◆ ÷ 3 = 25. ● = 73 − 30 = 43, so ● × 5 = 215. Then ? × 5 = 215 + 25 = 240, and ? = 240 ÷ 5 = 48.
14. 14. B — Each number is multiplied by 2. 8 × 2 = 16.
15. 15. A — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside and the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies only one of the two changes; D applies the change twice; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
16. 16. E — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 4 punches through 4 layers leaves 16 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A doubled the count without the on-crease merge; B treated the mirror as a slide — hole positions right, orientation never flips; C one hole drifted off its mirrored position; D mirrored across the wrong axis.
17. 17. E — What the three figures share: every figure is an outline (unfilled). E shares it too. The others don't: A does not share the property; B matches the shapes but not the shared fill; C solid black instead of the shared property; D repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property.
18. 18. C — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." judge → court, so teacher → school.
19. 19. B — Skillful (deft) diplomacy prevents (averts) a war. Clumsy, slow or careless handling would not stop one.
20. 20. A — All three are parts of a legal document, and so is a provision. The others are parts of poems or songs.
