Free CCAT practice test: 12 questions with worked answers
This free CCAT practice test has 12 questions covering the three CCAT areas: verbal, math and logic, and spatial reasoning. Each comes with a worked answer. At the real CCAT pace of 18 seconds a question, give yourself 3 minutes 36 seconds. Then try the free sample question below; the full timed CCAT practice test is in Forge. For the full format and scoring, see our CCAT test guide.
- 12 questions: 3 verbal, 4 math, 3 logic, 2 spatial or attention.
- Real pace is 18 seconds per question, so set a timer for 3:36.
- No calculator, as on the real CCAT. Rough paper is fine.
- The real CCAT average is about 24/50 (48%); more than half right at full pace is above average.
- Want more? forge has 10 full CCAT-style simulations and 40 focused drills.

- Q3. Although the plan seemed ______ at first, it proved surprisingly effective.
CCAT practice test: part 2 (math)

- Q5. A square sheet of paper is folded in half, then in half again, and one hole is punched through the folded square. How many holes are there when it is unfolded?
Quick summary
- The 12 questions above match the CCAT's three areas: verbal, math and logic, and spatial.
- Time yourself at 18 seconds a question: 3 minutes 36 seconds for all 12.
- Don't use a calculator; the real CCAT doesn't allow one.
- About half right at full pace is roughly average on the real test.
- Follow up with full simulations and focused drills on your weakest area.
How did you do?
If you finished all 12 inside 3:36, you're at real CCAT pace. If you ran out of time but got most right, your accuracy is fine and speed is the job: practise skipping questions that don't click in 10 to 15 seconds. If you got fewer than half right even with extra time, work through the guides for your weakest area first: verbal, math, logic or spatial.

Source notes
Format, pace, the no-calculator rule and the average score come from Criteria's candidate CCAT page (checked 2 October 2026).

Frequently asked questions
Where can I take a free CCAT practice test?
This page has a free 12-question CCAT-style practice test with worked answers and a timed mixed game. Criteria also publishes free practice tests on its candidate site, and forge has 50 CCAT-style timed tests including 10 full simulations.
How should I time a CCAT practice test?
Use the real pace: 18 seconds per question. For the 12 questions on this page, that's about 3 minutes 36 seconds. Full CCAT simulations should be 50 questions in 15 minutes, or 20 in 6 minutes for a shorter version.
What score should I aim for in CCAT practice?
The average on the real CCAT is about 24 out of 50 (48%). Getting more than half right at full pace puts you above average. Many employers set higher bars for analytical roles, so aim to improve your accuracy at speed rather than a fixed number.
Are CCAT practice questions like the real test?
Good practice questions match the three areas (verbal, math and logic, spatial) and the 18-second pace. They won't be the real questions, which are confidential, but the formats are consistent enough that practice transfers well.
How many practice tests should I do before the CCAT?
Usually three to five full timed tests, plus focused drills on your weakest area. Review every wrong answer: most improvement comes from fixing repeat mistakes, not from volume.
