Students in Grade 7 in the Waterloo Catholic District School Board will be administered the Canadian Achievement Test, Fourth Edition (CAT-4) between April 12 – 19, 2023.
The CAT-4 is a national standardized achievement test designed to measure achievement in the basic skills commonly taught in schools across Canada. The specific skill areas to be assessed include language arts, reading and mathematics. The CAT-4 takes approximately four hours to complete over a three-day period.
The CAT-4 will provide information for parents/guardians, students, teachers and administrators about how well students perform in the basic skill areas. This information will be used to provide direction for curriculum and program delivery at the system, school, and individual student levels.
If there are questions regarding this assessment, please contact the school, and/or our WCDSB Research Coordinator (Kelly.Roberts@wcdsb.ca).
