Free cognitive ability practice test: 50 questions, 15 minutes
For when the invitation says only "cognitive assessment" or "aptitude test". The common hiring tests share the same families of questions: this one covers them all, on a clock just as tight.
15:00 on the clock · 50 questions
- 50 questions, up to five answer choices
- You cannot go back to a question once you move on
- No penalty for a wrong answer on this test: guess and move on
- No calculator. Scratch paper and a pencil are fine.
The clock starts when you press the button and cannot be paused. No email, no sign-up.
What you see when the clock stops
Your score and where it stands
Correct answers, questions reached and accuracy. No percentile: this is our own general test, and we do not borrow another test's norms.
The questions you should have skipped
Every question that held you past the pace and earned no point, with the seconds it cost and the points that time was worth.
Your weak types, by name
Right, wrong and seconds for each question type, so tonight's practice goes where the points are.
Also in the questions: "Some" means at least one, possibly all. Dates are written month/day/year. A figure may be turned, but it is never flipped unless the question says so.
About this test
| What this test is | Our own general test, not a model of one publisher's: 14 math, 13 verbal, 8 logic, 10 figure and spatial, and 5 attention-to-detail questions. |
|---|---|
| Why it transfers | The Wonderlic, the CCAT and the PI Cognitive Assessment are built largely from the same question families: word problems, number series, analogies, opposites, logic statements and figure patterns. |
| The clock | 15 minutes for 50 questions: 18 seconds each, the CCAT's pace. Tests in this family are designed so that most people do not finish. Source: Criteria Corp, CCAT prep page. |
| Percentile | None is shown for this test. It is our own, so there is no publisher norm, and we do not borrow another test's. |
| Find the real name | It is a normal question to ask the recruiter. One line by email usually gets the answer. |

Questions about the general cognitive test
My employer only said "cognitive assessment". Which test is it?
Usually one of three: the Wonderlic (50 questions, 12 minutes), the CCAT (50 questions, 15 minutes) or the PI Cognitive Assessment (50 questions, 12 minutes). The time limit in the invitation and the sender's name usually settle it; if not, ask the recruiter.
Will practicing a general test help with a specific one?
Yes for the question types and the pacing, which is most of the difficulty. Once you know the test's name, switch to practice in its exact format.
Why is there no percentile for this test?
Because it is our own test. A percentile needs a norm group, and borrowing another test's numbers would be a made-up comparison.
Is a calculator allowed?
Not here, and not on the Wonderlic, the CCAT or the PI Cognitive Assessment. Practice with scratch paper.
