Question 5 · Verbal

Choose the word most nearly opposite to LENGTHEN.

elongatetruncate

“Truncate” means to shorten by cutting something off, the direct opposite of lengthen. “Elongate” is a synonym, the trap answer.

Performance coach

A score tells you how you did. The coach tells you what to practice next.

After each test you get a short plan built from your own answers and seconds: which sections cost you points, which ones eat your clock, and the drill that fixes each.

  • Every section mapped on accuracy against speed, with one fix for each
  • The questions that ate your time, and the clock checkpoints to hit next time
  • Where rushing costs you, and the point to guess and move on
  • A read that sharpens with every test you take

Math: 11 of 12 right, at 31 s a question

Drill math against a 20 s clock. That frees about 2 minutes per test for the sections you miss more.

People who got the same questions right took 20 s.

Built like the real CCAT

Four kinds of question, one 15-minute clock

The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test mixes all four types in a single run of 50 questions. That leaves about 18 seconds for each, so practice under the same clock matters as much as the material.

Verbal

Analogies, opposites, sentence completion and short passages. Speed comes from knowing the traps.

Math

Number series, word problems, ratios and percentages, all without a calculator.

Logic

Orderings, syllogisms and statements you must judge true, false or uncertain from a few facts.

Spatial

Complete the pattern, find the odd shape out, and follow a figure as it turns.

In their words

Real reviews, in their own words

Several real-test questions matched the practice tests

“Wow, I practiced all 10+ tests and I just took my real test. I found that several of the questions in my real test were EXACTLY the same as the practice tests in this course. So worth every $ I spent.”

Failed the CCAT twice, then passed

“I failed the test twice and was given one last try. I found this course, and it saved me!! … many of the practice questions were on the real test … Long story short, I passed the CCAT and I know I wouldn't have done it without this course.”
Sheronda Grooms

From 27 to over 40 in practice tests

“… I read the 'tips' to attempt the test (Long story short, focus on speed). I did that. No other change and my score was now over 40 in the next 2 practice tests I did.”

Questions

Before you start

Questions and explanations are written and checked by the CCATTests Research and Editorial Team. Facts about the test come from Criteria Corp's published material. See our CCAT practice data research.

What is the CCAT?

The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test is a pre-employment test that many employers use in hiring. It has 50 questions across verbal, math, logic and spatial reasoning, and a 15-minute time limit.

Is the CCAT practice test here really free?

Yes. The full 50-question test, your score, your score by section and every worked explanation are free, with no account and no email address.

How is the CCAT scored?

Your raw score is the number of questions you answer correctly out of 50, and a wrong answer costs nothing. In Criteria's published norms the average is about 24 out of 50.

How much time do I get per question?

15 minutes for 50 questions is 18 seconds a question on average. Very few people finish all 50, so practicing when to move on is part of the skill.

What do the paid plans add?

More full papers in the real format and topical papers for each question type, up to 15 full-length and 12 topical tests, each scored and explained, with the coach report after every test.

Do I need an account?

Not for the free test. A free account keeps a record of the tests you take and adds the 20-question diagnostic, with the coach's first suggestion for your practice.

Fifteen minutes from now, you will know where you stand

One full CCAT practice test, scored and explained the moment the clock stops.
