This brand-new prep book gives you the perfect opportunity to assess your knowledge and gauge your readiness for the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) well before your exam day.

The CCAT is a pre-employment assessment designed to measure cognitive abilities essential for success in most jobs. It evaluates a candidate's critical thinking skills, problem-solving ability, and capacity to learn new information, focusing on how well they can apply their cognitive skills to real-world situations.

Here’s a breakdown of the key areas covered on the test:

1. Numerical Reasoning: This section evaluates your ability to work with numbers, including basic arithmetic, interpreting data, and understanding numerical relationships. Tasks may involve solving word problems or working with tables and graphs.
2. Verbal Reasoning: Measures your ability to understand, analyze, and interpret written information. You’ll encounter questions that involve identifying relationships between words, solving analogies, or recognizing patterns in text.
3. Abstract Reasoning: Tests your ability to recognize patterns, logic, and relationships in shapes and figures. This section is often the best indicator of your ability to adapt to new, complex information. Tasks may include pattern recognition, series completion, and spatial reasoning.

Test Structure:

• Length: The test consists of 50 questions.
• Time: You have just 15 minutes to complete the test, making time management crucial.
• Scoring: Typically, test-takers answer 24-30 questions correctly within the time limit.

This book includes four full-length, up-to-date practice tests that closely mirror the official exam. Each test is accompanied by detailed explanations for every question.

Why It’s Used: Employers use the CCAT to assess a candidate’s potential for learning and success in their role, as well as their ability to think quickly under pressure. It is commonly used for positions that require problem-solving, decision-making, and quick learning in fast-paced environments. A strong CCAT score is often considered a predictor of how well candidates will perform in roles requiring intellectual agility and fast learning.
