Company guide # Ellucian CCAT: what is known and how to prepare By [Avi Flombaum](https://avi.nyc) · Updated October 13, 2026 CCAT use at Ellucian is reported by TestCCAT through a customer-support applicant. That report does not establish a requirement for every role, and the 28–34 band is an unofficial preparation estimate. ## Ellucian and the CCAT at a glance Estimated target score 32 /50 An estimate, not a published cutoff. **Our estimated range** 28 to 34 **Target percentile (estimate)** the 82nd to 87th **Criteria floors for these roles** No close job family **Evidence it uses the CCAT** Thin evidence TestCCAT reports a verified subscriber taking the CCAT for an Ellucian customer support role in 2026. Ellucian’s public company overview does not publish an assessment cutoff. Our planning target of 32 uses TestCCAT’s unofficial 28–34 band as a starting point. It is not a published employer cutoff; role requirements and selection decisions may differ. ## Check your score against Ellucian The numbers below use our estimate for Ellucian: a range of 28 to 34 out of 50 with a target of 32. Nothing is saved. If you ask Clever below, it sees your numbers. Below the estimate A 24 is about the 49th to 50th percentile of Criteria's published reference groups (our estimate). 8 more correct answers would reach our estimated target of 32. ## A support report does not define every hiring track The reported customer-support assessment is useful evidence for that track. Ask whether your own invitation uses the same test, especially when applying for engineering, implementation or another department. ## Support preparation needs clear reasoning and explanation For a confirmed CCAT invitation, practise reading conditions accurately and handling short numerical problems. Separately, prepare examples of diagnosing a customer problem and explaining a solution in accessible language. ## Question types to drill first - [**Percentages** A focused way to practise accurate mental calculations in short numerical problems.

Syllogisms with worked examples](https://clevercatprep.com/ccat-syllogisms) ## Tips for the Ellucian CCAT - Confirm the assessment name, deadline and permitted materials before starting. - Review one recurring error type at a time, then check progress under the time limit for your actual test. - Ask the recruiter about retakes and accommodations before your attempt. ## How we estimate We found no employer-published CCAT cutoff for Ellucian. The numbers on this page are preparation estimates. The basis above identifies whether a practice target comes from Criteria's job-family guidance or a secondary report. Criteria's norm groups put a raw score of 24 near the middle. A practice goal cannot predict a hiring decision; use an employer's own published baseline and the instructions for your role whenever available. Percentiles come from a normal model on Criteria's published median and standard deviations, shown as a range across both groups. See the [CCAT percentile chart](https://clevercatprep.com/ccat-percentiles) for the method and [what a good CCAT score is](https://clevercatprep.com/ccat-score) for the published job-family floors.
