The School and College Ability Test (SCAT), is a standardized test conducted in the United States that measures math and verbal reasoning abilities in gifted children.
The SCAT is used by the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) as an above-grade-level entrance exam for students in grades 2–8.
CAT4 is used as an admission test and also by schools to determine potential (gifted or weaker children).
However, as these normal students took the test in 1979, percentile rankings may be different when compared to a more recent group of test-takers.
