CAT4 Abbreviations - help please

I've received some paperwork with my child's Year 5 Summer 2023 CAT4 results and I don't recognise the abbreviations. Please could someone give me an idea of what each paper is?

  • PTS
  • PTN
  • NGST
  • NGRT

Looking online the suggestions are Progress Test Science, (presumably Progress Test Numeracy), New Group Spelling Test, and New Group Reading Test.

The two previous CAT4 results we've received were for Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Non-verbal Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning so I can't work out whether they sat different types of papers this time or if there's any correlation.

Grateful for any insights.

Those are different tests run by the same company (GL Assessment) - I would recommend looking at their website to find out more: Here
Does the paperwork say CAT4 on it? Perhaps the school have written that by mistake?
