How to use practice papers well
- Little and often. One short worksheet a day beats a long session at the weekend.
- Mark it together. The explanations in the answer key are written for parents to talk through.
- Time it later. Start untimed for confidence; add a timer in the last week or two.
- Mix in screen practice. The real CAT4 is usually taken on a computer, so try our online practice too.
