GCAT is an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test which is a standardized assessment designed to measure an individual's cognitive abilities and potential for problem-solving, learning, and abstract thinking. The test evaluates an individual's intellectual abilities, such as logical reasoning, spatial perception, working memory, processing speed, problem-solving abilities, language proficiency, and mathematical skills. The knowledge tested in an IQ test is not specific to any particular subject area, but rather reflects an individual's overall intellectual capabilities. IQ tests comprise multiple-choice questions, and there may be sections that test verbal and nonverbal reasoning skills, mathematical abilities, and memory recall. Students can expect questions that require analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and logical reasoning, as well as questions that challenge their knowledge of basic arithmetic and vocabulary.
