[senco-forum] online CATs

Hi Chris
  I didn't know you could do CATs online.

  I know how the CAT tests we did worked:
  The pencil and paper tests have instructions which are read by the teacher plus practice questions.  Pupils then do one section for between 8 and 10 minutes with no further support.
  Verbal questions can't be read to them as it isn't standardised for support with reading so weak readers struggle with this test.  Quantitative and non-verbal questions have no words and should be accessible to non-readers once the instructions have been understood.

  Are the online ones similar?  What is the advantage of doing them online?
