Can anyone tell me the difference between Sats tests and Cats tests. Is Cats more verbal & non-verbal reasoning, with maths as well? Thanks

Sats is supposed to be about testing what you know, CATs about testing your potential to learn. I think.

CATS are the cognative ability tests
SATS are Standard assessment tests

CATs test verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and maths

Really ? from what ds had said it sounded like it was more verbal reasoning, comprehension and multiple choice type papers.

CATs are multi choice type papers, covering the three areas mentioned earlier.

No worries,BB. It is a private school which doesn't do KS1 SATS so wondered if it was an equivalent. Sounds similar to CATs but do they do these at 7 ?
