CAT4 Group report for teachers

Three words are presented which are similar in some way orways. From a selection of five possible answers, the studentmust identify a fourth word with similar properties.

The answer is snow because rain, fog and sunshine are alltypes of weather and snow is also a type of weather.

Verbal Classification

Verbal Reasoning Battery – thinking with words

Verbal Analogies

A pair of connected words is presented alongside a singleword. From a selection of five possible answers, the studentmust select a word to complete the second pair in the sameway.

The answer is window, because a carpet goes on a floor anda curtain hangs at a window.

Quantitative (or Numerical) Reasoning Battery – thinking with numbers

Two pairs of related numbers are presented. From a selectionof five possible answers, the student must select a number tocomplete a third pair.

The answer is 8. Here 1 add 1 makes 2, but that doesn’t workfor the second pair because 5 add 1 is 6, not 10. Instead, youhave to multiply by 2 to get the second part of each pair, so 4times 2 is 8.

Number Analogies

A sequence of numbers created by a transformation rule ispresented. From a selection of five possible answers, thestudent must identify the rule and continue the sequence.

The answer is 15. There are two number patterns in thisseries. The first, third and fifth numbers go down by 1 at a time– 18, 17 then 16. The numbers in between them go up by twoat a time – 5, 7 then 9. This means the next number must be16 minus 1, giving 15.

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT) is a suite of tests that assesses a student's reasoning (thinking) abilities inkey areas that support educational development and academic attainment. CAT4 is the fourth edition of the testand comprises the following sections or batteries which assess different aspects of ability:

CAT4 Group report for teachers

Figure Classification

Three designs are presented which are similar in some way orways. From a selection of five possible answers, the studentmust identify a fourth design with similar properties.

The answer is E because it is the only answer choice that is astriped semi-circle, like the first three figures.

Non-verbal Reasoning Battery – thinking with shapes

Designs are presented in a grid with one empty square and,from a selection of five possible answers, the student mustidentify the missing design.

The answer is C because in the top pair ‘one arrow up’ goesto ‘two arrows up’, so in the second pair ‘one arrow down’must go to ‘two arrows down’.

Figure Matrices

Spatial Ability Battery – thinking with shape and space

A series of diagrams shows a square being folded repeatedly,and then punched through with holes. From a selection of fivepossible answers, the student must identify how the paper willappear when unfolded.

The answer is D. The hole is punched through both layers ofpaper, so as it is unfolded the holes will be a mirror image ofeach other, with the crease being the mirror line.

Figure Analysis

Figure Recognition

Several complex designs are presented along with a singletarget shape. From a selection of five possible answers, thestudent must identify the target shape within one of thecomplex designs.

The answer is E. It isn’t A because that shows the targetflipped over. It isn’t B or C because they have shapes that arethe wrong size.

Why use CAT4?

CAT4 is a comprehensive and objective test of your students’ developed abilities – those that, in part,determine attainment and can be built upon and developed to improve outcomes. For example, verbalreasoning can be developed by supporting students’ reading, comprehension and vocabulary.

CAT4 has many uses, but the focus of this group report is to inform teachers about the abilities of a pre-determined group of students – whether a whole year cohort, teaching group or tutor group or a group ofstudents who share particular characteristics, for example students with English as an additional language.

CAT4 provides important information about your group of students because it is an objective measure of ability.Data from other sources such as the Fischer Family Trust, teacher assessment and key indicators such asattendance may be used alongside CAT4 data to ensure that information about students’ ability, attainment andany external factors affecting achievement that may impact on progress are part of the decision-making processat many levels.

Furthermore, results from CAT4:

CAT4 Group report for teachers

• provide indicators of attainment for KS2, KS3, GCSE and AS/A level which are a starting point for targetsetting for the group

offer a comparison between performance of different groups of students in order to better identify needs andtarget resources

identify groups of students who may be underachieving •

• monitor trends and changes in the ability profile of the school’s intake over time

• and, importantly, set a baseline against which to assess the value added by the school.

Battery In CAT4 battery is the title given to each of the four pairs of tests which assessdifferent aspects of ability.

Questions attempted The number of questions attempted can be important: a student may have workedvery slowly but accurately and not finished the test and this will impact on his or herresults.

Raw Score (RS) The raw score (RS) is the total number of questions a student has answeredcorrectly.

The Standard Age Score (SAS) is the most important piece of information derivedfrom CAT4. The SAS is based on the student’s raw score which has been adjustedfor age and placed on a scale that makes a comparison with a nationallyrepresentative sample of students of the same age across the UK. The average scoreis 100. The SAS is key to benchmarking and tracking progress and is the fairest wayto compare the performance of different students within a year group or across yeargroups.

Standard Age Score (SAS)

National Percentile Rank (NPR) The National Percentile Rank (NPR) relates to the SAS and indicates the percentageof students obtaining any particular score. NPR of 50 is average. NPR of 5 meansthat the student’s score is within the lowest 5% of the national sample; NPR of 95means that the student’s score is within the highest 5% of the national sample.

The Stanine (ST) places the student’s score on a scale of 1 (low) to 9 (high) andoffers a broad overview of his or her performance.

Stanine (ST)

The Group Rank (GR) shows how each student has performed in comparison tothose in the defined group. The symbol = represents joint ranking with one or moreother students.

Understanding CAT4 scores

Relationship between CAT4 scores

Confidence band Performance on a test like CAT4 can be influenced by a number of factors and theconfidence band is an indication of the range within which a student's score lies. Thenarrower the band the more reliable the score. This means that 90% confidencebands are a very high level estimate.

The analysis of CAT4 scores allows allstudents to be assigned a profile; that is theyare assigned to one of seven broaddescriptions of their preferences for learning.The Verbal Reasoning and Spatial AbilityBatteries form the basis of this analysis andthe profiles are expressed as a mild,moderate or extreme bias for verbal orspatial learning or, where no bias isdiscernable (that is, when scores on bothbatteries are similar), as an even profile.

The diagram shows the distribution ofstudents across the seven profiles which areindicated by the coloured bands.

CAT4 Group report for teachers

General characteristics of each student profileIt may be helpful to consider which students fall into which broad profile, but this information must be treatedwith caution as the descriptors are general and not individualised: students’ preferences for learning will beinfluenced by other factors. The CAT4 Individual report for teachers offers more fine detail.

They may prefer to learn step-by-step, building on prior knowledge, as their spatial skills are relatively weaker,being in the low average or below average range.

These students should excel in written work and should enjoy discussion and debate.They should prefer to learn through reading, writing and may be very competent independent learners.

•They are likely to be high achievers in subjects that require good verbal skills such as English, modern foreignlanguages and humanities.

Extreme verbal bias

Students:

Audrey Barber Sherry Benton Jeanne Boyette

Students in this group will have average to high scores for Verbal Reasoning and relatively weaker Spatial Abilitywith scores in the average range.These students are likely to prefer to learn through reading, writing and discussion. •

Step-by-step learning, which builds on prior knowledge incrementally, is likely to suit these students.

Moderate verbal bias

Students :

Emily Burnette Joel Callahan Marion Cline

Shannon Cooke Jackie Hendrix Allan Kirby

Suzanne Lawson Lois Murphy Becky Norton

Jeff Sullivan Bradley Sutton Gayle Underwood

Some students with this profile will have low average or below average scores for Verbal Reasoning and relativelyweaker Spatial Ability, but the gap between scores will be narrow.A slight bias for learning through reading, writing and discussion may be discerned in the students in this group.

Students with low even scores, conversely, may require significant levels of support to access the curriculum butwill be open to a range of teaching and learning methods.

Scores for students with this profile will be very similar for both Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Ability but will beacross the range from low to high.

Students with high even scores will excel across the curriculum and will learn through the range of media andmethods.

CAT4 Group report for teachers

• Students in this group will have average to high scores for Spatial Ability and relatively weaker Verbal Reasoningwith scores in the average range.

• These students are likely to prefer to learn through visual and kinaesthetic media and will need to use diagrams,pictures, videos and objects to learn best.Students with above average or high Spatial Ability are often characterised as ‘intuitive’ or ‘big picture’ learners:attention to detail may be a weakness.

• Owing to a relative weakness in verbal skills, attainment may be uneven and they are likely to need support insubjects where the emphasis is on the written word.

Moderate spatial bias

Students : None

• These students should excel in problem solving and will grasp concepts quickly and intuitively.

• They will not enjoy rote learning and may arrive at a correct solution to a task without demonstrating the stepsalong the way.They are likely to be high achievers in subjects that require good visual-spatial skills such as maths, physics andtechnology.

• Owing to a relative weakness in verbal skills, attainment may be uneven and they may need support in subjectswhere the emphasis is on the written word.

Extreme spatial bias

Students : None

KS2 indicators

There has always been a significant and positive correlation (that is, a link which is supported by statisticaldata) between a student’s scores on reasoning tests such as CAT4 and his or her performance in national testsand examinations. CAT4 provides a range of indicators of future attainment which can form the basis ofdiscussion with an individual about targets for learning or help set realistic but challenging targets for nationaltests and examinations.

External factors will affect a student’s eventual attainment – not least effort and motivation – but CAT4 resultsdemonstrate what can be achieved because the test is established as a good predictor of subsequentattainment.

CAT4 scores and subsequent KS2 results (or teacher assessments) are collected from a large sample ofschools and students. The KS2 indicators are derived from the statistical relationship between CAT4 scoresand the end of KS2 results. The indicators are updated regularly to reflect changes in national KS2 attainment.Indicators for maths and science are calculated from the mean CAT4 Standard Age Score (SAS). The SAS forVerbal Reasoning has been found to give more accurate results for English so, when available, this is used asthe basis for the indicators for English. Should scores for one of more batteries be missing, indicators will bebased on scores for those batteries administered to the student.

The indicators in this report are shown as National Curriculum levels.
