CAT 4 Question Paper
CAT 4 Question Paper
In Figure Classification questions, your job is always to find the similarity between the shapes you are
shown, and then select the shape the matches them.
Top Tip: Find the similarity before looking at the shapes you are choosing from. This will help improve
your focus and give you greater confidence in your answer.
Q. In all of these questions, the first three shapes are similar in some way. Work out the connection
between the three shapes and select the shape that matches them.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Question 2 of 8
Figure Matrices
In Figure Matrices shapes, the question is always presented in a square box. Your job is to spot the
relationship between the shapes in the box and identify the missing shape.
Top Tip: The rule or pattern could be moving horizontally or vertically, depending upon the question.
Q. In all of these questions, the shapes are arranged in a square, but one of the shapes is missing. Study
the existing shapes and work out which shape is missing.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Question 3 of 8
Figure Analysis
Figure Analysis questions take practise, but over time you will get better and better at spotting the
correct answer. The questions show a square piece of paper being folder in different ways, we then
imagine that a hole punch has made holes through the folded paper, sometimes differently shaped
holes. We need to solve what the piece of paper will look like when it is unfolded.
Top Tip: Look for symmetry and mirroring. Some of the hole punches will be reversed when unfolded.
Q. The image shows a piece of paper being folded and hole-punched. Select the answer that correctly
shows how the paper will appear when it is unfolded.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Question 4 of 8
Figure Recognition
These questions are all about finding a hidden shape. It won't have been rotated or flipped, but it may
be a slightly different size and it could have other shapes crossing over it.
Top Tip: Take your time. Look carefully at the hidden shape for at least 10 seconds, then carefully study
each of the possible answers one at a time. When you think you've found the shape, make sure it really
is the same shape and not a trap left by the examiner!
Q. The shape on the left has been hidden in one of the other shapes. It has not been rotated or flipped.
Select the answer where the shape has been hidden.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Question 5 of 8
Number Series
These questions are all about spotting the sequence in a set of numbers. They questions get harder
depending upon the CAT4 level you are taking, but the basic rules are always the same: look for the
sequence (or sequences) and identify the missing number.
Top Tip: Sometimes two or even three sequences are overlapped. For example: 1,2,3 and 9,8,7 could be
presented as 1,9,2,8,3,7,?
The sequences could also include multiplication, division or other mathematical rules. For example: 4, 8,
16, 32, ?
In this sequence the number is doubling each time and the answer is 64.
A) 22
B) 17
C) 14
D) 25
E) 16
Question 6 of 8
Number Analogies
Like many questions in CAT4, Number Analogies questions are about spotting a rule or relationship. In
each of the 3 examples provided, the first number relates to the second number in exactly the same way.
Spot the relationship and identify the missing number.
Top Tip: The rule could be almost any mathematical process including additional, division, multiplication
and even squaring. Focus on the first set until you spot the rule, then try to apply it to set 2 and set 3.
B) 14
C) 5
D) 6
E) 8
Question 7 of 8
Verbal Classification
In these questions we need to spot how the words we are given are connected, then choose the one
that matches them based on that rule.
Top Tip: The matching word matches the other words, it does not describe or categorise them. For
example: Cod, Trout, Salmon. A good example of a matching word to these could be Haddock because
they are all fish, but it would not be fish.
Q. Study the three words, and then select the word that matches them in some way.
A) Only
B) Soar
C) Average
D) Ate
Question 8 of 8
Verbal Analogies
In these questions our job is to find the link between the words in the first set, and then apply the same
rule to the second word. What is the relationship between these two words, what has happened?
For example:
Fight→Fought Think→?
Fight has moved into the past tense, so the right answer will be thought.
Q. Float→Sink Free→?
A) Restricted
B) Complimentary
C) Affordable
D) Reduced
