Understanding Cognitive Ability Tests (CATs) for Year 7 Students

Cognitive Ability Tests (CATs) are designed to assess individual students' learning styles upon entering school. These tests help in determining appropriate placement in subjects and identifying gifted students with high spatial, verbal, and numerical abilities. Notably, 3 out of the 4 sections of CATs4 do not depend on language skills, allowing assessment for non-native English speakers too. The results aid teachers in planning and setting targets, enhancing all aspects of teaching and learning. For inquiries, contact Ms. Vicki Ransome at vransome@eccoschool.com.
