Grade 4 CCAT Testing

Each November, Grade 4 students across HWDSB complete the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test (CCAT 7).  The CCAT 7 is administered by LRTs and grade 4 teachers, in the classroom. The CCAT 7 was designed to provide an accurate and efficient measure of the abilities needed to acquire the desired outcomes of formal education.  The test measures verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative skills in a multiple choice format.  Test results will be used to assist with program planning for individual students and as part of the board-wide gifted screening process.  No advance preparation on the part of students is necessary. Testing for our Grade 4 students will take place between November 23 and December 4.
