CCAT Testing

Dear Grade 4 Families,

Each November, Grade 4 students across HWDSB complete the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test (CCAT7).  The CCAT 7 is administered by LRTs and grade 4 teachers, in the classroom. It is administered in HWDSB as an in-person test only. (Remote learners will not complete CCAT7).

The CCAT7 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 and nonverbal 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.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

-Mr. Azzopardi
