Absolutely! With our full platform, you get unlimited access to multiple practice tests so you can improve your score through repetition. Most successful test-takers practice 3-5 times.
Which question types are hardest on the CCAT?
Most test-takers struggle with spatial reasoning questions (the visual patterns) and complex verbal analogies. Math questions are often the fastest to solve if you know the techniques.
How should I manage my time during practice?
Use our timer feature! Aim to spend no more than 18 seconds per question on average. Quick wins first (easy math/verbal), then tackle spatial patterns, and guess on the hardest ones.
Can I use a calculator on the CCAT?
No, calculators are not allowed on the CCAT. All math must be done mentally or on paper. Our practice questions help you develop these essential mental math skills.
How do I improve my spatial reasoning skills?
Practice with our spatial questions daily! Look for patterns in rotations, progressions, and logical sequences. The more you practice pattern recognition, the faster you'll get.
