CAT4 Sample Questions for All Levels

Correct answer is D.

The correct option shares the horizontal line pattern seen in the first three figures.

Correct answer is F.

The correct option matches the gray color.

Correct answer is N.

The correct option follows two consistent patterns from the first three figures:

1. All shapes have striped patterns.
2. All shapes have four sides.
   Option N satisfies both criteria. Other options either lack the striped pattern (e.g., Option M) or do not have four sides (e.g., Option L).

Correct answer is U.

The shapes in the left row are divided into equal parts. Among the answer options:

• R: Does not divide into equal sections.
• S: Horizontal lines only, no equal sections.
• T: Vertical lines, no equal divisions.
• U: Hexagon divided into six equal parts (matches the left-row pattern).
• V: Diagonal lines, no equal divisions.

Thus, the correct answer is U.

Correct answer is C.

In the left row, each shape is divided into four parts. Among the options, C (the pentagon divided into four parts) matches this pattern, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is K.

The shape in the middle must be a rhombus (diamond) formed by merging the two outer shapes. Option K correctly represents this pattern, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is L.

In option L, the inner shape is a parallelogram (4 sides), the middle shape is a 5-sided irregular polygon (no specific name), and the outer shape is a hexagon (6 sides). This follows the rule where the inner shape has 4 sides, the middle shape has 5 sides, and the outer shape has 6 sides (one more than the middle shape). Additionally, the hexagon is positioned two corners away from the parallelogram, satisfying the positional rule.

Correct answer is C.

The missing piece follows the rule of filling the shape with the gradient in the second step.

Correct answer is G.

In the top row, the sequence follows: circle, square, triangle, hexagon. However, the circle transforms into the following shape in the sequence, which is a square. Applying the same logic to the bottom row, the circle transforms into the next shape, a hexagon, maintaining the sequence logic. Therefore, the correct answer is Option G.

Correct answer is N.

The first circle has diagonal lines slanted to the right, while the second circle is rotated so its diagonal lines slant to the left. Similarly, the triangle has diagonal lines slanted to the right, and to maintain the pattern, it must be rotated so its lines slant to the left. Option N correctly shows the triangle with diagonal lines slanted to the left, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is P.

In the top row, the first shape transitions from a circle inside a triangle to a shaded triangle inside a circle by inverting the positions and shading the inner shape. Following the same rule in the bottom row, the first shape (an unshaded hexagon inside a cross) transitions to the second shape, which must be a shaded hexagon inside a cross. Option P follows this logic, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is L.

In the top row, the black square moves up by one row, becoming a half-shaded rectangle, and then moves up by another row, turning into an unshaded half-rectangle. The second row follows the same pattern, with the square moving up and transitioning from fully shaded to half-shaded, and then wrapping around to the bottom row.

Applying the same rule to the bottom row, the black square moves up one row and becomes a half-shaded rectangle. Thus, the correct answer is L, which fits the pattern.

Correct answer is Q.

Each arrow direction corresponds to a specific shape:

• Arrow pointing up = Circle
• Arrow pointing down = Triangle
• Arrow pointing right = Square
• Arrow pointing left = Four-pointed star

Additionally, the color of the arrow indicates the shading of the symbol:

• A black arrow means the symbol is white (unshaded).
• A white arrow means the symbol is black (shaded).

Following the pattern from the arrows in the top-left and bottom-left boxes:

The bottom-right box must mirror the relationships of arrows to shapes and their corresponding colors. Option Q follows these rules exactly, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is P.

In each row, the shapes follow a clockwise rotation (to the right). In the third row, the first shape rotates to form the second shape, and applying the same clockwise rotation rule gives us the missing third shape.

Option P correctly represents the shape after the clockwise rotation, making it the correct answer.

Correct answer is B.

The listed words are colors, and "Colour" is the category they belong to.

Correct answer is A.

The listed words (Eagle, Hawk, Falcon) are all birds of prey. "Vulture" belongs to the same category of birds of prey, while the other options do not share this characteristic.

Correct answer is B.

The listed words (Violin, Guitar, Cello) are all stringed musical instruments. "Harp" is the correct answer as it is also a stringed instrument, whereas the other options either do not belong to this category or represent something different.

Correct answer is Mutter.

Mutter is similar to Whisper, Murmur, and Mumble, as it describes a way of speaking softly or indistinctly. The other options do not share this similarity.

Correct answer is Breakable.

Breakable is similar to Fragile, Delicate, and Brittle, as it refers to something that can be easily damaged or broken. The other options do not fit this meaning.

Correct answer is Inscrutable.

Inscrutable is similar to Cryptic, Obscure, and Enigmatic, as they all describe something that is mysterious or difficult to interpret. The other options either have opposite meanings (e.g., Transparent, Straightforward) or are not the closest match (e.g., Puzzling, which is less precise).

Correct answer is Daring.

Daring is most similar to Audacious, Bold, and Intrepid, as they all describe a willingness to take risks or show courage. The other options either have opposite meanings (e.g., Timid) or are less precise synonyms (e.g., Brave, Courageous, or Reckless, which implies lack of thought).

Correct answer is Galaxy.

A tree is part of a forest, just as a star is part of a galaxy.

Correct answer is Meow.

A dog barks, just as a cat meows. Both describe the sounds they make.

Correct answer is Paint.

A pen is used for writing, just as a brush is used for painting.

Correct answer is Hive.

A bird builds a nest as its home, just as a bee lives in a hive. Both describe their habitats.

Correct answer is Time.

A compass is used to determine direction, just as a clock is used to measure time. Both describe the primary purpose of the object.

Correct answer is Symphony.

An architect designs a blueprint as a plan for a structure, just as a composer creates a symphony as a musical composition. Both pairs highlight the role of a professional in producing a detailed creation.

Correct answer is Hypothesis.

A lawyer creates or interprets a contract as the foundational document in legal work, just as a scientist formulates a hypothesis as the starting point in scientific research. While Experimentation, Microscope, and Laboratory are related to scientific work, they describe tools or processes rather than the conceptual foundation equivalent to a contract.

Correct answer is 12.

Each number on the left is divided by 5 to produce the number on the right.

Correct answer is 81.

Each number on the left is squared to produce the number on the right.

Correct answer is 35.

Each number on the left is divided by 2 to produce the number on the right.

Correct answer is 80.

Each number on the left is multiplied by the next even number to produce the number on the right:

• 4 × 6 = 24
• 6 × 8 = 48
• 8 × 10 = 80

Correct answer is 64.

Each number on the left is raised to the power of 3 to produce the number on the right:

• 2³ = 8
• 3³ = 27
• 4³ = 64

Correct answer is 42.

Each number on the left is multiplied by 1.5 to produce the number on the right:

• 12 × 1.5 = 18
• 20 × 1.5 = 30
• 28 × 1.5 = 42

Correct answer is 22.

Each number on the left is multiplied by 3, and then 2 is subtracted to produce the number on the right:

• 4 × 3 = 12 − 2 = 10
• 6 × 3 = 18 − 2 = 16
• 8 × 3 = 24 − 2 = 22

Correct answer is B, 30.

The numbers decrease by 5 in each step.

Correct answer is D, 45.

The numbers decrease by 9 in each step.

Each number is multiplied by 2 to get the next number in the series.

Correct answer is 243.

Each number is multiplied by 3 to get the next number in the series:

• 3 × 3 = 9
• 9 × 3 = 27
• 27 × 3 = 81
• 81 × 3 = 243

Correct answer is 30.

The pattern alternates between adding 8 and subtracting 1:

• 1 − 1 = 0
• 0 + 8 = 8
• 8 − 1 = 7
• 7 + 8 = 15
• 15 − 1 = 14
• 14 + 8 = 22
• 22 − 1 = 30

Correct answer is 255.

The pattern in the sequence doubles each number and adds 1:

• 1 × 2 + 1 = 3
• 3 × 2 + 1 = 7
• 7 × 2 + 1 = 15
• 15 × 2 + 1 = 31
• 31 × 2 + 1 = 63
• 63 × 2 + 1 = 127
• 127 × 2 + 1 = 255

Correct answer is 32.

This sequence is composed of three interwoven series:

1. First Series: 4, 8, 16, ? — doubles each step.
   4 × 2 = 8, 8 × 2 = 16, 16 × 2 = 32
2. Second Series: 22, 44, 88, ? — doubles each step.
3. Third Series: 9, 18, 36, ? — doubles each step.

Since the next number in the first series is 32, the correct answer is C.

Correct answer is C.
