Thanks for the free course, a very helpful resource.
Thank you Mika! You’re among the first users to complete this course.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much, Gideon! You are an angel! I love how you explained everything in detail and gave out a lot of free resources! I will definitely come back to revise and revise whenever I have a test and I will recommend this course to my friends as well! Again, thank you so much! 😀 <3
Really enjoyed the course and learned new things. Thanks a lot.
Very well Designed. Thank you for providing this great service at no-cost. Unmatchable design.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The attention to detail and logical layout of the course, help videos, and practice resources are amazing. I took the CCAT last night for a job opportunity. I feel really good about it. I got to question 42 of 50 in the 15 minutes. I totally would not have faired as well without the help of 12minprep. I greatly appreciate the videos as well as the resources for each chapter of the course I used. This morning, I got an email letting me know I made it through to the next round of the interviews.
Great job! Thanks so much for giving this free to everyone.
A very good starting point for anyone taking the test for the 1st time.
A very useful course that help the student familiarizing themselves with the type of questions and time pressure expected in the test.
This course is extremely helpful, it helped me pass the CCAT.
I strongly recommend this great resource that Gideon has created for prospective candidates. The tutorials are very meticulously complied and easy to understand. The quiz prepares candidates for the most difficult scenarios and in a way this is very helpful as it can easily motivate one to go the extra distance in preparation.
Very useful and practical- I will be writing a Cognitive test tomorrow and found the course to be relevant and timely.
I think this will help me a great deal.
Thanks a lot. Really helps to understand – how to do and where to go for test preparation!
Appreciate too much!
Rate for 5 stars!
Exactly all necessary things to make clear and right preparation plan!
And for sure – recommend to all, who want to get suitable score in it!
Well done!
Excellent!!!!
Great!!
Excellent course
very helpful for those who haven’t had this kind of test for a long time.. thank you
Thank you Gideon and team. All the information I gathered here I was able to utilize most of it in my test and I got a call back today! Well done!
Thanks Gideon
Great site, the content is useful. I got also personal tips.
Keep doing
Seems legit!
Thanks for this course!
Very helpful-lets me know what I really need to work on. Practice, practice, practice…..
That was awesome! Thanks for that prep class!
Truly an eye-opener
Super helpful
I was very happy to find this website. It was very helpful in getting me mentally prepared for CCAT test. It also helped me finding out my strengths and weaknesses, and helped me form a strategy to maximize my score. The website is neat, and the videos convey messages very clearly. I really enjoyed watching the videos.
I particularly liked that Gideon point out sometimes people are ignorant in terms of how much time they should spend preparing for the test. I would have taken the test without any preparation if I hadn’t watched these videos. After watching the videos, I realized that I could get high score by investing time practicing.
Very helpful, thank you!
Truly helpful resource..should consider having everything for free and accepting donations
Worthwhile every minute spent. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything!
Awesome
Very useful!!!
Really valuable resource. Breaking down the mechanics behind the types of questions and the opportunity to practice.
Very useful course. Strongly recommended.
I am happy to have found this site. I have a UCAT in a couple of days and this pre-test preparation is an excellent practice. Thank you for sharing this and showing how a problem can be resolved in several ways.
Excellent in that the short course highlighted what i need to focus on going forward. I was unaware of how ineffective my solutions were to solving the different types of questions required of the tests. This course only requires an investment of time … and it is worth every minute.
Forgot to rate this fabulous course.
Wonderful insight, learnt so much
Very good! Very helpful tips! Thanks for the work put into it.
Thanks a lot Gideon! God bless you!!!
helpfull
most helpful preparation is
Very helpful content!
excellent!
Excellent content! The personal videos make a big difference in terms of making the content interesting and engaging. Also, the “shortcuts” Gideon covers are very useful.
Lastly, Gideon is very responsive, open to feedback and ready to help.
Incidentally, I passed my CCAT test 🙂
good, would be nice to do the test an additional time
I really appreciate the detail provided, the tips & tricks, and the additional links and resources available for printing. Definitely feeling better prepared in advance of my CCAT
I was grateful for this course. It provides insight to weak areas and hones strong areas through the available practice links and tests. I would recommend this to anyone required to take an employment assessment.
I would definite rate this a 5!!!
I was so nervous going into this because I haven’t been in school in some time, but this helped refresh those strategies to make it more digestible and to save time!
Very much worth the time. Highly recommended. Thank you!
very helpful
I am a member of Mensa, scored in the 99th percentile in math and 98th percentile overall on my ACT, and this course kicked my butt. Highly recommended. I saw dramatic progress in abstract reasoning where I sucked until I learned your tips. The most valuable advice was to guess and move on unless the answer pretty much jumps out at you, which is really unnatural for me. THANK YOU!
Very helpful.
5.0 5 Star
Very Helpful
thanks for the resource! wish I could take the practice tests more than once.
Thank you for the information and tutorial course, I learned a lot from the lessons!
Very well prepared. Great examples, useful links, totally helpful!
Great course and well guided through out………thumb up ….fully recommended …bravo
Thank you, the level and timing since like it must very accurately reflect a CCAT by U.S banks/ financial firms, will recomment once I take the test this week from a firm I would love to interview with! Really appreciate the transparency and tips, best I found for online practice!
so so helpful! thank you 🙂
Good free test
Thank you for the course and the free test, I just wished I could review the questions again after taking the free exam
Good tutorials and test
Very good!!!!!! A lot of extra material to study
I only had a few hours to prepare for CCATBand found the videos and practice questions helpful. I can’t imagine taking with zero idea what the test would be like. I now know to guess quickly at tough math to get to other types I can answer more quickly. 15 minutes goes by very fast!
Only have a day to prepare…thank you for the content and insight!
good practice!
Gideon,
Great prep work for anyone looking or being tasked with a cognitive test.
I had never heard of this exam until my recruiter said I needed to take one. Although I have a short window this free course helps to understand the basic and also how to go about it. Thanks it was great!
The quality & level of content included is on par with or better than other, paid resources.
Excellent insight & collection of additional free resources in addition!
Only thing missing to rule the internet in the CCAT preparation segment is repeatable, ever-changing, “50 questions in 15 min” full tests.
Excellent resource!
Great for being free.
Very helpful. Great practice and insight along with links to more resources! Compare to other free offers this one delivers! Lots of content and useful information.
Hopefully I am able to return to continue with some of the links tomorrow.
A great help. Did the free course and it taught me a lot about how these tests work, helped me identify areas I need to work on, and provided practice test questions. I will now investigate further practice I can get with 12minprep using the paid options.
Great introductory course to understand the format of the test and offer strategies for solution!
Very helpful. Not many resources for the CCAT specifically. Would be nice to take the practice test more than once. Would pay for the service. Thank you!
Absolutely helpful. Some tips with logics are priceless. Thank you.
Geat prep, ideas and tricks!!! And all for free! Thank you for the insight and guidance! A paid CCAT mock test would’ve been a great addition )))
Thank you, Gideon. We really appreciate what you are doing. Although I have yet to take the test and my online assessment is today, but I am feeling confident and more prepared after your course overnight. Thank you for that you have done.
the only proper and informative resource regarding cognitive ability tests. I hope to perform better using techniques ans methods of this test. i opted to study and research due to the fact that practice makes you perfect. my advice is to do practice and go through this test. it will help you in shaa Allah. and it will create a difference. The free resources are also very useful. If you can afford, go through the premium material. Right now i can’t.
Thank you so much Gideon.
Excellent preparation
Very helpful and informative
This course and all of the resources it connected me to is absolutely the reason that I did well on the CCAT and got to the next stages in the interview process. Thank you!
Extremely helpful, well organized and with very important content and structure. Well done and thanks
5 Star
Very helpful and well done
Great course! provides all necessary info and helps prepare better.
This was an excellent course. I especially appreciated being able to see which questions I got right, and which ones I got wrong, and the logic behind the correct answers. I also found the additional tips and resources extremely helpful. I would have done so poorly on the actual test had I not taken this primer. Thank you!
Great course! I would like to be able to retake the tests after having done them, however. But perhaps I simply don’t know how to do it.
If you need to quickly practice for a CAT, this is the place to be. I will definitely perform better than I thought I could. Thanks 12 min. prep!
excellent
I found out yesterday that I need to take the CCAT quickly, which is not common practice in my industry. This course is giving me a leg up on cramming for that test. Talk about being rusty in math…. Ugh. Thank you.
Very thorough and useful. Thank you!
Thanks for the course. I have been out of school for a very long time. I was told I had to take this test for a position. It was helpful as I have not tested like this in years. It brought a lot back to me, especially math, as it was never my best subject. If I had a longer time frame to prepare, I would do the paid course. Thank you once again.
This was extremely helpful. A great use of 90 minutes. Thanks for offering it for free – if I had more time I’d purchase the additional material. Off to take the test now —
Gideon,
This is definitely a life saver. I am up for a great opportunity and the employer is requiring that I take the CCAT test. I will review my weaknesses and hone my strengths with the resources you have provided.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you.
Fantastically done. So much time & effort went into this, with so much useful info being given away for free. Thanks very much!
True Good Job done here
Very well presented.
Good starter course!
Thank you for making this course free. It really helped me to understand where do I stand for my test.
The test at the end of the free review repeated nearly half the questions from the free test you can take without going through the free sessions. Then when I went to make a comment about this at the end of the test, that prevented me from seeing my score report and reviewing my answers.
Dear Jared,
As for the fact that some content shows outside the course as free practice on my website is done on purpose. I give free content in more than one route, and the fact that it repeats in different sections does not make it less effective.
As for the test and its results – this is available for you via the My Account page. You can access the statistics, questions, and explanations for the test included in the course.
I’d love to help, feel free to contact me with other questions you may have.
Best regards,
Gideon
Short and clear. Thanks.
Great course!
Excellent and simply.
Great prep information.
Very useful and informative!
Good little program with some good free tests
Excellent material, well done.
very relevant, great resources!
Good starting point to start the practice
2 thumbs up!
love it.thanks
It’s helpful!
practice session is encouraging
very useful and happy to see it was free!
Excellent short review of what to expect, along with feedback on the areas where you need to focus to improve results. Thank you.
Nice overview that provides insight on weak areas
Very simple and useful!
Helped me to grasp the main goals of the CCAT test and gave an important tip on strategy.
Thanks, the tests are very helpful and pinpoint the areas I must improve.
This is awesome. Good for someone like me.
I greatly appreciate
thanks, excellent guidelines and tips in this course!
This resource has been very useful for me. I have just few hours to complete the CCAT. I hope to practice more before my time’s up. Thank you.
I really appreciate the course materials and advice, I’ve got a few hours until I take the CCAT and honestly I haven’t looked at questions like these in 30+ years. When I initially took the practice quiz I was decimated by the score I received. However, after going through the free course, I scored much better than average! I’m going to cram a LOT more before the actual test! Thank you, Gideon!
I only had 1 morning to prepare for a Cognitive Assessment test. This concise, hands-on course gave me the confidence and some great tips to allow me to do my best. Chock full of great resources, in case you have more time than I did, as well.
Concise and very useful.
Great resources , clear and helpful.
Very helpful!!
This is a course to the point and is very informative. I will go over the resources once again to improve my skills and time management. Thank you so much Gideon for your contribution.
Thank you so much for all the tips and explanations. very useful and informative.
Thanks for this valuable and free of cost course. This was very helpful !!
Thanks a lot for putting together all this stuff – big work – big praise to the creator! There is nothing near like this resource on the web!
Thank you so much. The course was quite simple and helpful indeed.
Could’ve gone deeper but as it is a free course it is a great resource
Very helpful course thank you
From my extremely short experience in the field of tests like these for applying to the job, this is so far the best resource that I found. Good structure, clear examples, understandable videos, most important tips and so much more to learn and catch as possible effectively in a short amount of time that usually is given for candidates.
Thanks alot..very useful
Thanks a lot. Very helpful course
Great strategies for going about solving the different types of problems, thank you!
Great resource and insight to help me prepare for the test.
Awesome! Great prep. Only had 24 hours to prepare – and had never taken this type of assessment. Prepared me for what to expect!
THIS COURSE IS A GREAT RESOURCE TO HELP STUDY AND PREPARE FOR AN EXAM ..
TRULY VERY HELPFUL AND I RECOMMEND 100000000000%
Kind regards.
Ekems from Lagos, Nigeria.
very helpful for practice situation. seriously the time frame is very difficult to CORRECTLY answer 25 of 30 questions.
Very usefull
You absolutely need to emphasize the time construct more than you do. Writing stuff down takes TIME. Also, some tests (CCAT in my case) do not allow you to go back to a question once it’s been answered.
The techniques and examples were very good.
Very good, but 1 star less cause I couldn’t get back to review my answers in the math drill.
Hi John,
Thanks for the feedback. You can actually review your answers via the My Account page, where your course history is saved.
Cheers,
Gideon
Good entry course!
Very helpful entry level course
Thank you for the free course, VERY useful and really well explained.
Very good prep!
Although I was not convinced at the beginning that this is the prep I should spend time in (as so many online resources), as much I was watching the course the more I’ve enjoyed it. The trick and links are very useful and the way is designed is covering any time constraints (12h, early birds, etc). Well organized. After each session, taking through the suggestions and study plan I could see the difference. I was improving only after a few practices.
Much appreciated!
I highly recommended!
Best
Catalina
A helpful resource preparing for the CCAT. Good overview of question types and even a diagnostic exam of 30 questions under time-limit constraints gave me a sense of where I need to improve. I ended up purchasing the 3+1 exam kit for further prep.
Was very helpful!
Awesome course. I am sure it will help a lot of people. It has surely helped me to a great extent. All the best!
Very helpful, thank you for making it so simple to understand.
Great course
Really helped me to understand what I need to focus on.
I feel confident enough to now take my test
Great course
Excellent content. Provides a great place to start for preparing for cognitive assessments. The FREE resources with practice questions are invaluable. I recommend, if you have time, to purchase on-going courses as they definitely provided me a benefit and allowed me to feel as prepared as possible for my assessments.
Superb intro course loaded with tons of great excercise material.
Thanks Gideon!
Good course and not too lengthy to provides really good insight in your strength and weaknesses in order to prepare you better!
I would have given 5 stars if there wasn’t a mistake (imo) in one of the examples in lesson 5:
At some point a sample questions says; A speaker costs 12 (present tense) and then: its price rose by 20% and by additional 2.4 the next day (past tense).
Now I’m not native in English so correct me when wrong, but according to me the answer should be 50% because of a past increase to 12 (original price being 8) and not 40% as explained to rise to 16.8 from 12.
Very well organized and extremely helpful!
Appreciate for making this course free. Really helpful for preparation and taking the exam.
Thank you!
Very insightful and practical!!! Thanks!!!
Great course and fantastic materials- Thank You
Great intro course. Carry on the good work.
Thanks for the course, it is very useful 🙂
