Number sequences, word problems, percentages, and basic arithmetic under time pressure.
If a stock clerk receives six shipments per week, how many shipments does she receive over the course of 16 weeks?
16 weeks times 6 shipments per week equals 96 shipments.
Which of the following is the largest value?
0.851 is greater than 0.815, 0.581, 0.518, and 0.185.
In a group of fifty students, one-third of them participate in the school's chess club. If six more students decide to join the chess club, what percentage of the entire group will be chess players?
Step 1: Find 1/3 of 50 = 16.67 ≈ 17 students. Step 2: Add 6 more students = 17 + 6 = 23 students. Step 3: Calculate percentage = (23/50) × 100 = 46%.
21 is 30% of what number?
Quick method: Multiply first number by 10 (210), divide second number by 10 (3). Then 210 ÷ 3 = 70.
What would be the next number in the following series: 2 ... 4 ... 7 ... 11 ... 16 ... ?
Pattern: Add consecutive numbers starting from 2. 2+2=4, 4+3=7, 7+4=11, 11+5=16, 16+6=22.
By what percentage did the median age increase between 1970 and 2000?
The age went from 28 to 35, an increase of 7. Percentage increase = (7/28) × 100 = 25%.
Analogies, sentence completion, antonyms, and reading comprehension tasks.
SALMON is to FISH as....
SALMON is a specific type of FISH. OXYGEN is a specific type of ELEMENT. This represents a specific example within a broader category.
PROFICIENT is to PRACTICE as....
PROFICIENT results from PRACTICE (cause and effect). STRONG results from EXERCISE (same relationship).
The ____________ pace at which the professor lectured frustrated some students, who wished he wouldn't spend so much time explaining basic concepts.
DELIBERATE means slow, careful, and intentional - matching the professor's thorough but frustrating pace.
How many of the five items in the left column are exactly the same as in the right column?
All five pairs are exactly the same when compared carefully.
Choose the word that is most nearly OPPOSITE to the word in capital letters. GARNER
GARNER means to gather or collect. DISPEL means to drive away or scatter - the opposite action.
Pattern recognition, shape rotation, visual sequences, and spatial relationships.
Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?
The figure rotates 90 degrees clockwise each time. The last rotation brings it back to the original position, so Option E is correct.
Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?
Pattern: 3-edged figure, 4-edged figure, repeat. Since the last figure is 4-edged, the next must be 3-edged (Option D).
Which of the following does not belong?
Figure C has no circle, while every other figure contains a circle. In 'does not belong' questions, find the odd one out.
Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?
Row 2 has three filled shapes in each figure. Column 1 contains only triangles. Option C fits both criteria.
Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?
The rectangle moves 90 degrees clockwise each iteration. From bottom-left, it moves to top-left (Option B).
Syllogisms, logical deduction, and statement evaluation tasks.
Assume the first two statements are true. Is the final statement true, false or uncertain? Statement 1: Jared solely received the highest grade in the class. Statement 2: Wes received the lowest grade in the class. Final statement: Donna received a lower grade than Jared.
Since Jared SOLELY (alone) received the highest grade, everyone else received lower grades, including Donna. The answer is True.
Assume the first two statements are true. Statement 1: Robin works at the same office as Charles. Statement 2: Charles works at a different office than Alex. Final statement: Alex works at a different office than Robin.
If Robin = Charles's office, and Charles ≠ Alex's office, then Robin ≠ Alex's office. The statement is True.
Assume the first two statements are true. Statement 1: David sold fewer subscriptions than Sara. Statement 2: David sold more subscriptions than Sam. Final statement: Sam sold more subscriptions than Sara.
Order: Sara > David > Sam. Therefore 'Sam > Sara' directly contradicts this order. The answer is False.

Take complete 50-question practice tests with authentic timing, detailed analytics, and personalized feedback to maximize your score.
Challenge yourself with today's question. Get a new authentic CAT question every day!
Yes! These are authentic practice questions that mirror the exact style, difficulty, and format you'll encounter on the actual Cognitive Aptitude Test (CAT). Our question bank contains verified CAT-style questions across all four major categories.
The real CAT has 50 questions and you have exactly 15 minutes to complete it. That's just 18 seconds per question! Our full practice tests simulate this exact experience with realistic timing.
The average score is 24/50. Scores above 31 put you in the top 20% of test-takers, which is excellent for most professional roles. Tech companies often look for scores of 35+.
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.
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.
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.
No, calculators are not allowed on the CAT. All math must be done mentally or on paper. Our practice questions help you develop these essential mental math 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.
We have 1,370 CCAT practice questions in total, the biggest CCAT question bank available. That is spread across 15 full-length tests (50 questions each) and 12 topical tests (50 questions each) covering verbal, numerical, logical, and spatial reasoning, plus one free 20-question diagnostic test to get started.
There are 15 full-length practice tests of 50 questions each, plus one free 20-question diagnostic test to get started, and 12 topical tests of 50 questions each for targeted practice, for 27 tests in total.
The 1,370-question bank covers all 4 CCAT categories: verbal reasoning, numerical (math) reasoning, logical reasoning, and spatial reasoning. Every full-length and topical test draws from this same pool, so you never run out of fresh questions to practice with.
