11. Student profiles The analysis of CAT4 scores allows all students to be assigned a profile; that is, they are assigned to one of seven broad descriptions of their preferences for learning. The Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Ability Batteries form the basis of this analysis and the profiles are expressed as a mild, moderate or extreme bias for verbal or spatial learning or where no bias is discernable (that is, when scores on both batteries are similar), as an even profile.

13. CAT4 Summary presentation for senior leaders Standard and Intermediate Grade indicators There has always been a significant and positive correlation (that is, a link which is supported by statistical data) between students' scores on reasoning tests such as CAT4 and performance in national tests and examinations. CAT4, which provides a range of indicators of future attainment, demonstrates what can be achieved because the test has become established as a good predictor of subsequent attainment.

15. CAT4 Summary presentation for senior leaders How to make best use of your CAT4 data Individual reports for students can be shared with key members of staff to ensure that: – teaching is appropriate to a student's learning preferences – support or challenge is appropriate to need. Individual reports for teachers should be shared with each student and form the basis, with other data, for: – setting targets – monitoring progress – adapting learning to suit the student's preferences. Group reports for teachers and Summary reports for senior leaders can: – inform decision making about curriculum and resources – provide a benchmark for monitoring and assessing value added.

16. CAT4 Summary presentation for senior leaders How to make best use of your CAT4 data Individual reports for parents provide the parent or carer with a copy of their child's results to help them understand the process and how they can offer support at home. Data about students' abilities based on CAT4 can be used very effectively with other information such as that provided by attainment tests and teacher assessment to help set targets for learning and public examinations. Individual reports for students provide each student with a copy of his or her results to take away. Copyright © 2012 GL Assessment Limited Slide 16 of 16
