For many questions, mainly in the Sentence Completion subtest, the teacher administering the test will read instructions aloud for each question. Instead, the Verbal Battery will measure critical thinking and listening abilities, as well as the ability to follow instructions. The CCAT tests designed for younger children do not test traditional verbal abilities, such as reading and writing. Check out the table below for a breakdown of each battery and its subtests: Quantitative Battery Schools will often administer all three batteries at once, though they may decide to administer them separately. The three batteries add up to a total of 136 questions. Each subtest contains one specific question type, meaning the test is made up in total of nine unique question styles.
Each battery is divided further into three subtests, for a total of nine subtests. The CCAT Level 7 includes three sections, called batteries: the Verbal Battery, Quantitative Battery, and Nonverbal Battery. Since this often corresponds to being in grade 1, the CCAT Level 7 often administered to all 1st graders. The CCAT is divided by age level, meaning that the CCAT Level 7 is designed for children who are 7 years old. Instructions on verbal section are read aloud The CCAT, or Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test, is a standardized multiple choice test that is often used to assess children for gifted and talented programs. The CCAT’s question types are unlike anything your child has seen in school, and these lessons will allow them to become familiar with each of them before the test. Each lesson is followed by a short quiz to reinforce the specific concepts covered. Our online CCAT course includes a lesson for each question type found on the test, for a total of 9 lessons.
This is why we’ve designed a structured course outline that includes recommended study schedules and additional study tips for parents to help guide their children through the preparation process.
As parents, it’s difficult to know how to guide them through the preparation process when many test prep companies will sell you practice materials and little else to work with. Young children often struggle when faced with preparing for a standardized test with little structure or guidance. Experiencing a realistic practice test will make taking the real test a less stressful experience for your child, and will allow them to perform to the best of their abilities. Practicing with full-length practice tests also helps your child work under the pressure of the test’s limited administration time. The best way for your child to become familiar with the CCAT and its many unique question types is to take realistic, timed, full-length practice tests.
