Can I use CAT for target setting with individual pupils?

nferNelson: Education: Resources: Cognitive Abilities Test 3...
There is a strong correlation between pupils’ scores on the CAT and their subsequent performance in national tests at the end of Key Stages 2 & 3 (KS2&3) and in public examinations at age 16 and 18. This does not imply a deterministic relationship between CAT scores and Key Stage test and public examination results for individual students; students with similar CAT scores can achieve a wide range of GCSE outcomes for example.

Can I use CAT every year to monitor pupils' progress?

nferNelson: Education: Resources: Cognitive Abilities Test 3...
Reasoning test scores tend to be more stable over time than attainment test scores. Annual testing is therefore more appropriate for reading, spelling or mathematics tests, for example, which assess how well children are performing in relation to the curriculum that has been taught. Examples of such tests are the nferNelson Progress in English 5-14 or Progress in Mathematics 4-14 test series.

Can CAT be used to identify underachieving pupils?

nferNelson: Education: Resources: Cognitive Abilities Test 3...
CAT scores are less likely to be affected by school experience than attainment tests. Comparisons between pupils’ CAT scores and their attainment in school subjects such as English and mathematics can therefore be helpful in identifying pupils whose reasoning ability is average or above average, but whose attainment in curriculum subjects is low. Such pupils may be characterised as underachieving, and may benefit from intervention.

What setting should I use for in-camera sharpening?

Digital Photography FAQ
Many new digital cameras offer several different settings for applying sharpening to images in-camera. Which one should you use? If you have a sophisticated image editing program, you should use the lowest possible sharpening setting. Why? The correct amount of sharpening to apply will depend upon the dispay method used for the image (printing, LCD, CRT, etc.) as well as the final size of the image and the content of the image itself.

ZDS Paintball - Shocker NXT Freqently Asked Questions
There isn't such thing as a "perfect" dwell setting (if there were then it wouldn't be adjustable).

Instructions for this and other tasks can be found on this website under the Adjusting & Maintaining pages.

Do you accept individual pupils or teach a group?

Richard Schmid - ANSWERS TO MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. I do not teach in the usual sense of accepting students and scheduling regular instruction sessions. I don't feel qualified to take on the serious responsibility of a student's artistic growth and development. Though I have been involved in some form of teaching occasionally for most of my career, I have never taught formally. With the exception of a few workshops, I have never accepted regular students, nor charged a fee for teaching.

If I read out the CAT Verbal Battery questions to pupils, will this invalidate the test?

nferNelson: Education: Resources: Cognitive Abilities Test 3...
You can and should read out to the pupils all the instructions, and the demonstration and practice questions, explaining these in detail and using community languages if appropriate. However if you read out the test questions in the Verbal Battery then you cannot use the standard age scores, because this was not how the test was administered to the standardisation sample.

what CAT score should I expect pupils to achieve 5+ GCSE A%-C grades?

nferNelson: Education: Resources: Cognitive Abilities Test 3...
From the 2004 GCSE Indicators, we can see that pupils with a mean CAT score of 99 or above have a greater than 50% probability of achieving 5+ GCSE A*-C grades, i.e. they are more likely than unlikely to achieve 5+ A*-C grades. Looked at in this way the 5+ A*-C threshold is a mean CAT score of 99. However you should recognise that this is a rough rule of thumb only.

So do you need to use music to dance with your cat?

Frequently Asked Questions
Your cat will certainly dance with you without music but I think one of the most important things about playing music when you're dancing with your cat is the effect it has on you. I'm sure it helps us become more involved in the dance and that helps get our energy levels up so that our cats are more likely to join us in the dance. Some people claim that drugs like catnip or valerian really get their cat going, while others claim they have the opposite effect.

What target curves does MultEQ use?

Audyssey: Frequently Asked Questions
Contrary to popular belief, a target curve that is flat from 20 Hz to 20 kHz is not always the one that will produce the correct sound. There are several reasons for this including the fact that loudspeakers are much more directional at high frequencies than they are at low frequencies. This means that the balance of direct and room sound is very different at the high and low ends of the frequency spectrum.
