CCAT test prep · one payment · no subscription
CCAT prep for a test that is days away.
The CCAT rewards speed on patterns you can learn. Drill each question type against the clock, sit full 50-question tests, and let an AI coach show you where your seconds go.
Free account, no card. One free session with AI coaching on your results. Start it within 5 days of signup. Then $19.99 once for one month if you want more. No renewal.
How the prep works
Four steps, repeated until your score holds.
- Take a baseline
One drill or one full test, free. It shows where you stand today.
- See your weak types
The coach reads your attempts and ranks the question families costing you the most points and time.
- Drill them with the fast route
Every question shows a worked solution and a shortcut you can use in 18 seconds.
- Retest
Full tests on the 15-minute clock, with a debrief that follows up on the last one.
See how one question is taught.
Answer it, then read the breakdown. This is what every practice question looks like after you submit.
Lea is 12 years older than Jo. In 4 years, Lea will be twice Jo’s age. How old is Lea now?
Answer to see how the coach breaks it down. Keys A–E work too.
AI coaching
Stuck on why? Ask your coach.
Open a chat from any question you missed. It checks your reasoning, finds the step that went wrong, and gives you a rule to keep.
Start your free sessionAssume the first two statements are true. Is the final statement True, False, or Uncertain based on the information provided?
- Mark did not wear a uniform.
- All of the waiters at the restaurant wore a uniform.
- Mark was a waiter at the restaurant.

Coach chatAdapted from a real conversationI picked Uncertain. The rule is A -> B (waiter -> uniform), and we know !B. Is A true? Isn’t that uncertain?
No, that one is False. This is modus tollens.
If every waiter wore a uniform and Mark didn’t, Mark can’t be a waiter.
If A were true, the arrow would force B to be true. But you know B is false. So A cannot be true, and the claim “Mark was a waiter” is False.
Run the Uncertain test
- A true, B false: breaks A -> B. Not possible.
- A false, B false: A -> B still holds. Possible.
Only one version works, so the answer is forced: False.
Okay. So if we’re told B is true, is A uncertain? Other things could make B true?
Yes, Uncertain. Your reason is exactly right: A is one way to get B, but not necessarily the only way. Concluding A would be affirming the consequent, which is invalid.
“Is B true?” is still True. You were told it, so it is still known.
And if we’re told !A, B is uncertain too?
Yes, Uncertain. A is not the only possible cause of B, so A being false tells you nothing about B. Concluding !B would be denying the antecedent.
Can you give me the rules in the ! notation, all the permutations?
Rule: A -> B, plus one fact
Each row is one fact you are told. The columns show what that makes each claim.
| Told | A | !A | B | !B | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | True | False | True | False | modus ponens |
| !B | False | True | False | True | modus tollens |
| B | Uncertain | Uncertain | True | False | affirming the consequent (invalid to conclude A) |
| !A | False | True | Uncertain | Uncertain | denying the antecedent (invalid to conclude !B) |
Bold cells are the ones the test actually asks about: the letter you were not told.
Short form
- A -> B, A ⊢ B
- A -> B, !B ⊢ !A
- A -> B, B ⊢ nothing about A
- A -> B, !A ⊢ nothing about B
Related statements
| Statement | Same meaning as A -> B? |
|---|---|
| !B -> !A (contrapositive) | Yes, always |
| B -> A (converse) | No |
| !A -> !B (inverse) | No |
The converse and inverse are the two traps in rows 3 and 4 of the first table. If you catch yourself using either, the answer is Uncertain.
Memory hook
Forward from a true front (A gives B). Backward from a false back (!B gives !A). Anything else: the other letter is Uncertain. The letter you were told is always still known.
Your skip map
Know what to answer and what to guess.
There is no penalty for a wrong answer. See which types you answer fast and right, and learn to guess quickly on the rest so you reach all 50.

Questions, answered
How long do I need to prepare?
Most candidates have a few days. A baseline test plus a few hours of targeted drills is a realistic plan. We do not promise a score.
Can you really prepare for the CCAT?
You can learn the question formats, the faster methods and when to guess. Those are skills, and they are most of what the clock punishes.
What is included when I pay?
Everything, for one calendar month: unlimited drills and full tests across more than 3,000 questions, debriefs, coaching, coach chat, progress tracking and voice drills.
Does it renew?
No. It is a one-time payment. Access ends after a month unless you buy again. Purchases are final.
Is this a video course?
No. It is practice first: timed questions, worked solutions and a coach that responds to your own answers.
Are you affiliated with Criteria Corp?
No. Clever Cat Prep is independent. The questions are our own, written in CCAT formats.
