How to take a CAT test?

Our prep school does the CAT test only in Year 5 and the score determines the target 13+ schools. I just want to have a very approximate idea if we are looking at a 130 score or a 100 score to start viewing some of the school options in Year 4. Is there any way to take a CAT test (at home or in a centre) to have some idea on the scores? Or are there other similar tests we can do?

I took the boys to an educational psychologist for similar reasons before 8+ They can do similar tests

If you are a prep school, especially a selective one, the average CAT score will be above 100, 105-110 ish. You must have an idea how he is performing in relation to his peers. Our Prep did PiP tests on between CATs to gauge performance vs potential.

Thanks @Michaelahpurple! Can you share any names or where I can go about finding one in London?

@LIZS No they don’t seem to do any computerised tests except the CAT4 in year 5.

Pips are paper tests.

We found that general 11+ tutoring helped to raise CATS scores.
