CCAT - Math & Logic Tips and Tricks

Math

• Elementary addition or subtraction: Each consecutive number in the sequence is computed by adding or subtracting a number to the previous number.
• Basic multiplication: Each number in the sequence is found by multiplying the previous number by a whole number or a fraction of that number.
• Using multiple basic arithmetic functions: In some series, more than one operation (multiplications, divisions, additions, and/or subtractions) is used. For example - 7, 9, 18, 20, 40 ( add 2, multiply by 2, add 2, multiply by 2, etc). 
• Prime numbers: prime numbers is a natural number are numbers greater than 1 and can't be divided by any number apart from 1 and itself, e.g. 11, 13, 17, 19.
• Arithmetic sequences: In an arithmetic sequence the difference between one term and the next is constant e.g. 1,7,13,19,25. The value-added each time (+6) is called the ‘common difference’. 
• Geometric sequences: entails multiplying by the same value each time. For instance, a sequence of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 has a multiplication pattern of 2.  This number is called the ‘common ratio’.
• Square numbers: They are the square of whole numbers, such as 1 (=1x1), 4 (=2x2), 9 (=3x3), and 16 (=4x4).
• Fibonacci numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc. The Fibonacci sequence is found by adding the two numbers before it together. The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 21 is found by adding 8 and 13, etc.

Logic

• Several types of figures can be used, even in one grid. Examples of figures are circles, squares, arrows, stars, and triangles. The number of figures used can be of importance in trying to figure out the pattern that is used in a specific grid.
• Every figure can move places in the grid. This can be a specific number of steps of a back-and-forth movement.
• Every figure can rotate. This can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
• The figures can change in size, shape, filling, shading, and even any and all combinations of changes.
• Target one rule at a time. Logical Reasoning patterns can be complex and may present a combination of different aspects. Finish one line of reasoning at a time.

CCAT - Spatial Reasoning - Tips and Tricks

• Rotation matters as every figure can rotate. This can be clockwise or counterclockwise. Try to see whether you can spot how many degrees the rotation of the figures change and whether that number increases or decreases between cells in the matrix either horizontally or vertically.
• Positioning matters as every figure can move places in the grid. The movement can be a specific number of steps horizontally and/or vertically. As a test taker try to rasterize the square cells of the matrix into as many points as you need to infer how many steps the figure has moved.
• Size and shape matters as figures frequently change in size but they also tend to change in shape. For the more advanced questions, figures can change both in size and shape. 
• shadings and filling matter. ask yourself how the colours and shadings change within and between figures.
• Counting matters. It may be the case that the objects and shapes in the figures are even or uneven. Count whether an x number of shape sides (triangle, rectangle, pentagon, etc) in the figure. Count to figure out if the numbers increase or decrease within and between figures and if there is any odd-even number of addition or subtraction or even a multiplicative or divisive force at work.

CCAT - Verbal Tips and Tricks

• Think of a context for the stem word (the word given); try to use the stem word in an example sentence in this context.
  
• Try to think of antonyms for the given stem word. Also, consider secondary meanings of the stem word.
• Read all the answer options before you decide the word farthest in meaning to the stem word.
• Break down unfamiliar words into recognizable parts - prefix, suffix, and root word.

The golden rule on how to optimize your Vista CCAT scores is an obvious one, PRACTICE!

Practice for psychometric tests is misunderstood, and undervalued as there is a general belief that you can't increase your test scores. Nevertheless, dedicated practice is the most essential tool in the assessment training toolkit that you can use to achieve your well-deserved and rewarding job as it is shown to increase your fluid intelligence!

A review of over 50 scientific studies by Hausknecht et al (2007) proved that you can increase your assessment test scores by up to 35% in a matter of days when you are fully engaged in a couple of focused, well-structured, and productive practice sessions. The main methods in which such astounding results can be achieved are through:

1. It decreases your anxiety as familiarity with the test consequentially decreases your stress levels as you have been through the process before and know what to expect.

2. Practice provides you quick access to proven-test-taking strategies when the pressure intensifies during time-constrained tests and your cortisol levels spike.

3. Neuroscientific data shows that brain-training programs like our e-learning platform enhance your focus and ability to identify the correct patterns.
