CCAT math and logic questions
Arithmetic without a calculator, number series, and short word problems.
What is the average of 12, 15, 21 and 24?
What this type asks
No calculator is allowed, which is the fact that shapes this section: the arithmetic is deliberately ordinary — an average of five numbers, a percentage, a ratio — and the skill being timed is set-up, not computation. Number series ask for the next term; word problems are two or three sentences and one operation, chosen so that the wrong operation produces one of the other choices.
Now do it with the clock running.
50 questions in 15 minutes — 18 seconds each, which is the part no amount of untimed practice prepares you for.

Frequently asked
- How many math and logic questions are on the CCAT?
- Criteria Corp does not publish a breakdown by question type — only that the test is 50 questions in 15 minutes and that it includes this type. Any site that gives you an exact count for this section has made it up. The full-length test on this site deals the types evenly for that reason.
- Is this section timed?
- Not on this page. These sets are for learning the type — each answer comes with an explanation straight away. When you want the clock, the full-length test runs at 18 seconds a question.
- Are these real questions from the test?
- No. Every question here is original, written to the published format. The real item banks are confidential and nobody outside the publisher has them.
