Great. Detailed tips on how to answer each question style.
Excellent! Thank you for the free course, is extremely helpful for me.
Very Good course to understand and learn all about the CCAT Test. Plenty of information to invest time in getting prepared for the test. Thank you it was very valuable insights and information, tricks, etc. Great course!
Best free resource that I’ve found on the internet
Thanks!
Definitely worth taking for pre-employment exam preps!
The course was structured well and provided useful tips to attack various types of questions.
Thank you so much to open my eyes, and help my brain – best regards from far Brazil. Marcos Santana.
Excellent contribution to boosting individual cognitive skills!
This is awesome! I should buy the course just for helping this detailed help out… it will be totally worth it… I had to determinedly scroll very long to give this review (please check if you can put it on top of the comments or something easier). Cheers and thanks a lot for a more than awesome course!!!
Wow! So much depth for free. Thanks so much, Gideon!
Thanks for the useful insights – I certainly gained some great insights into how these tests work. Fingers crossed I can put it into practice!
So helpful to have such a wonderful resource, thank you Gideon! It’s been 7 years since I have had to interview, now as a result of COVID layoffs, I find myself in the company of so many others, needing to put my best foot forward! Thank you very much for dedicating your expertise to help people prepare, in such an easy to follow way. I love the additional resources as well! KUDOS! I also appreciated your prompt reply when I couldn’t find how to actually LEAVE a review! Scroll all the way to bottom (through hundreds of reviews – I didn’t scroll far enough) and there it was! It would be great to have an easier link at the end of lesson 9, or something with the instructions. No worries, it’s done and did NOT impact my overall impression of such a great resource.
Great course and well worth the time that it takes to complete it. The test-taking strategies that I have gained from this course have already paid off with a higher score on my practice tests.
Really good Strongly recommended! Thank you for providing this course free of charge!
Very informative, easy to follow and to understand. The guidelines are clear, now the rest of the work is up to us! Loved this, thank you Gideon!
Thank you for helping us to get a job!
I enjoyed and learned from these materials given free! Thank you very much!
Excellent prep course-structuring! Also got a prompt response from Gideon towards my query regarding the mock test result analysis/ statistics. Just 1 tip – make the time-limit for the timed questions in the curriculum as close to the real scenario – as possible – to give a realistic idea of the actual assessment and get geared up accordingly.
Very insightful. Thank you
This guy knows his subject! Excellent introductory course! I’ll be purchasing the CCAT course now.
Much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks so much for the prep! I think this was very helpful for my jumpstart practice to taking my CCAT test! Really showed me where I need to prep more! Great course!
I was looking for a Wonderlic test preparation course. This was the best that I found in the market, and free! Much better than those AUD100 ones.
I’m impressed of all the time and efforts that you’ve put into creating this well-structured and free course. Gathering and providing information about a huge number of online tests is a humongous work by itself! My hat off!
I certainly learned a lot and enjoyed completing the course. The best part, perhaps, was the final test where I could easily identify my weaknesses and strengths, e.g. I have to do a lot more training on the verbal part, while I won’t need to spend much time on the numerical part as I do very well there . Thank you!
Very helpful!!
Brilliant course content. It took me taking the free tests to realize my weak areas and how much putting in effort will help me with preparations to improve my score.
So glad I found this free test prep; I feel more prepared than if I were to wing the cognitive exam. Much thanks!
Great material !!
Excellent and very useful!!!!!
Thanks Gideon for putting together this course. Very well structured. And the curated reference material is very comprehensive. Would definitely recommend this to folks preparing for reasoning ability tests.
great intro course
Consise lesson plans and very well structured. A great style of explaining the logic behind the questions and how to answer them. Thank you!
Great concise lessons, tips are to the point and useful. Thank you!
Very helpful review – thank you!
thanks – really great overview and helpful hints
Excellent course!
Very helpful for prep in a short period of time.
easy to follow, very well structured, good explanations for the answers and great extra tips and material, thank you!
Excellent course! Thorough explanations and great content in each lesson. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to sharpen their skills with respect to Cognitive Ability.
Keep doing the goodwork.
The overall quality of the content was really good. The sound quality of the video lessons could be better.
Absolutely recommended
Really helpful review.
I recommend this course to anyone willing to be exceptional! Try it out
The review really helps to see where improvements need to be made, the only issue I have is that some of the explanations for some of the practice problems in videos were not entirely thorough.
This is a fantastic course. I would highly recommend it.
This course helped a lot to understand where i stand and where i have to focus
Very useful!! I would recommend to everyone!
I got to know where i am. So thank you so much for your guidance.
It is an excellent course and gives a real good test of the test conditions
I already knew my weaknesses but now know some tips and tricks to get the score needed to land my dream job. Thanks Gideon!
Thanks Gideon for the free course, downloadable resources with links and tips! If I had more time, I wish I could take the entire course to prep.
Lot of inputs & tips for free test itself. And also revealed very clearly that I need lots of practice still. Thanks for this free course and all practice resources.
Awesome courser and very insightful. Definitely good practice and worthwhile use of your time.
Very good, and thank you. Just wish I was as good as the people who put this together!!
An excellent resource that gave me a clear understanding of what to expect going into the CCAT. Excellent supplementary resource with ample practice questions/links. I highly recommend this course!
This course has really opened my eyes, I’m grateful
very helpfull, thanks for taking the time putting together all the resources
Helped me identify weaknesses. Haven’t taken the real thing yet, so not sure how it translates. But certainly feel me more prepared going into it now after taking this course, as opposed to before taking it.
This is a nice free introductory course for cognitive aptitude test.
I highly recommend taking this to see how it looks and to experience the near real-life feeling when taking the test.
This is overall a very nice course to start with. It gives you a glance at what you have to deal with before moving on to a more serious course.
The fact that its offered absolutely free is amazing. This course has indeed been very helpful!
Well done for the effort – Truly appreciate the structured way of delivery.
Very useful and clear!
Wow! The detailed structure this course has is just amazing. Gideon have mastered each and every aspect and angle of this course. I learned about CCAT a lot in just spare of a time. Thank You very much for this. God bless you.. perfectionist. I wish if I would’ve got mentors like you in my academia. I just have interview tomorrow and this was the best I could do to prepare in available time. I would have definitely gone further into paid resources from you if I had more time. Again Thank You very much.! I’ll recommend 12minprep to everyone.
Helpful instruction and many links to additional content. Thank you.
Thank you! It was so helpful in my limited time!
Great intro course.
Thank you Gideon. The free course was very useful and I learnt a great deal!
Gideon,
you did a great job explaining the material and the fact this is free is amazing. The only issue I have is that the the test provided is not like the real assessment (12 minutes and 50 questions). Everything else is perfect and for free this is absolutely worth the time.
Thank you.
Very useful course. Thank you
VERY USEFUL COURSE….THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Very helpful and well structured 👏🏽
Great course. Very well structured and explained.
Very informative for a free course. A lot of resources provided as well.
The free course and assessment is a excellent taster of these assessments. I would always recommend taking the full course.Thank you for the free resource
Very well structured program. Thanks
I found your video about CAT’s on youtube and after subscribing I decided to take your course, among other excercise approach. Really appreciate the quality of your resources. Will certainly get into the paid resources to study further.
Very well made, and thank you for making it free!
Excellent course for tips and tricks as well as a practice test. Thanks
Thank you very much!
This course offered an extraordinary experience! This is by far the best course I have ever participated on-line (and there were really many!). To the point, extremely informative, super clearly explained. I loved it!
Thanks. Very insightful and helpful.
It was great!
This is nice. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up!
a great course to support CAT practices
Thought, the info was good. Clearly enough to generate interest to purchase the paid training. I’m good with all of that. My one insignificant gripe is you can only take the practice once. I didn’t finish it so there’s more to get thru that I couldn’t. I know you get what you pay for, but who cares if I take it multiple times?
Excellent foundation when your time is limited to prepare.
I enjoyed every bit of this course! Thanks Gideon
This was awesome!! Especially the PDFs and links to the various websites and resources. This course was awesome!!!
Eye Opener … you know where you stand, you know what you have to do …
had a great learning experience.
Thanks so much for putting this together and making it available. Unfortunately, I was interrupted early on during the assessment test and closed it which resulted in being unable to retake the mock uninterrupted and receive an accurate measure of where I stand. No other disappointments other than that – thanks Gideon!
An excellent course, very well designed and delivered. Thank you, Gideon, for sharing your knowledge about CAT tests.
He is an excellent teacher. His English is so easy to follow and to understand for non-native speakers. Materials and tests are very good. Thank you for all the effort.
Learn a lot of stuff here, my marks really poor overall. Need to do more exercises to improve
Useful, but after the mocking test the program is not responding and does not give the opportunity to look through the questions\answers after. Disappointed.
Excellent free course if you want to acquaint yourself with CATs and the types of questions you will be asked. Highly recommended!
Awesome
very well organised and patiently clearly dictated.
Thank you for your efforts. I got 167/170 GRE score (quantitative part) five years ago. But I got an under-average score from the free quiz. Of course these are different tests but both of them related with cognitive ability. Actually I surprised by the difficulty of the test. Especially the time constraint is very challenging.
It was very good orientation
God bless you. So much happy to complete this course.
For free it’s a very well structured course, I really enjoyed the dedicated time, thanks!!
It was very insightful. I always thought i had these things covered. I realized i still have loads to learn. Thank you for sharing this.
Very, Very Helpful
The free introductory course was really useful.
The best free content that is available on the web. Had I had the time, I would have gone for the paid course too.
No other websites even come close to what this website offers.. Keep up the good work…!!
Very useful course! If I was to change anything, it’d be updating the practice links (since some were no longer working) but overall I learned a lot in only two days so I strongly recommend.
Thanks Gideon 🙂
This FREE course is too good to be FREE! Highly recommended. It’s loaded with value, tips, and tricks!
this training course is detailed and exceptional.. covers essentials… i would highly recommend it.
Really, a very helpful resource! Thank you.
Appropriate content, laid out well, and easy to understand/leverage.
Thanks!
It was very helpful. Many thanks!
A great starting place for assessment!
Thanks so much! Super helpful.
Excellent training. I got used to the test, improve my performance and was able to complete the 50 questions.
Thanks a lot. It was really useful.
Very nice group of resources for these tests.
great course, very helpful! some constructive feedback, if i may:
1. took me forever to think to look beneath the other 286 reviews to find where to submit my own. why would a user have to scroll a mile down to the bottom to post a review? yet here we are 🙂
2. i noticed when reviewing my results that the questions i answered wrong showed both my answer and the correct answer. i also noticed that very significant number of the problems i answered correctly were marked incorrect and did not show my answer at all, indicating that my answer was not recorded which makes it difficult to benefit from the aggregated results. (imho, for a no negative scoring test, a user should not be able to skip a question without at least guessing anyway.) it could well have been user error, but i recall that at one point i realized that clicking on an answers div filled that answer’s selection, thus saving me a second mousing from an answer’s radio button on the left to the next button on the right. (an opportunity for ui improvement?) i suspect that these answers may have been dropped from submission somehow. not being able to retake the test is preventing me from testing my theory, but i thought it may be worth sharing. this is the only reason for docking a star, the content was superb!
3. it would be fantastic if users were allowed to complete the test for the purpose of assessing strengths and weaknesses across the full spectrum of questions. times per question could be logged and aggregated by type and the test expiration time could still be noted in the results as well.
4. i am consistently flummoxed by situations where there can be more than one logical answer. i would love to see some advice included on how to decide what to do in this scenario. ex. “25 is to 4 as 49 is to x” if we let the format be “d1d2 is to x” we could say that “x = 0.5+averageOfDigits(d2^d1)” granted, its a longer solution, but in this case 9^4 = 81*81 = 81+80+6400 = 6561 and (6+5+6+1)/4 + 0.5 = 5, which was also an available answer.
that ended up being a bit more than i had planned to write, but i hope its helpful 🙂
Very well done. Quite helpful
Great foundation and testing strategies
Good
Beautifully constructed. Nicely explained. The paid versions could be priced a bit lower though.
This is a nice and good preparatory test to acquire…..
What great work you guys are doing here. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the course and the fact that it is for free is a huge thing. Thank you.
Thank you, Gideon!! I found your course to be very helpful with the tips you gave and everyone can have the best practice with the links you provided within the course material.
Thank you for sharing this content free!
Solid offering. Well presented. Amazing that it is free of charge.
It is very informative and helped me to understand the mindset and the goal of the test providers in giving these tests. It’s difficult to say whether it is going to be enough information to pass the test. But considering that its a free course – I give it 5 stars.
very helpful
Thank you for the superb guide! Well presented and much appreciated the exercise material links, offering this at no cost, Thank you so much.
An useful course, well structured, concise and with many resources. Thank you for offering this course for free 🙂
Nice course, content is superb, and the additional resources will be awesome too
Thank you for great guidance! I wish I had found you before 🙂
Tests are really comprehensive and well explained with answers and lots of practice and reading material included. Many thanks.
I agree- George Clooney’s course helped me. Kidding aside- I’m taking CCAT for a hedge fund. His free insight, videos, and 2 practice exams allowed me to see where I was weak, apply his guidance where necessary, understand the various ways that these questions should be approached, and prepare me for the sit-down exam experience. Thank you and I wish your future success.
Instructor does a great job at explaining answers and dives into each topic enough to get an idea of what you should work out. Helped me tremendously
Thank you Gideon for sharing your knowledge, your course is very well designed and tremendously useful.
Thanks a lit Gideon, for this amazing free content!! I just had a half-day when a recruiter contacted me and told me I have to appear CCAT test as the first round and I had no idea about question types/Patterns and anything. And luckily, I stumbled upon this course. I must admit that this introductory course really helped me gain the confidence to appear for the test. And thanks for all the PDF links after a few chapters.
I was very happy with this course. I am impressed by the guy who made it.
Very Impressive course, the course has been put in a more simplified format, easy to to understand and progress well.
Excellent.
Thanks Gideon and team, Wish you all the best !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much with these extremely helpful resources and tips. It makes me identify my weaknesses, and especially clarify different types of questions. I really learn a lot from them. Definitely thumb up and again appreciate your kindly help.
Thank you so much for providing this for free. I feel much better prepared.
Good
Thank you for providing this great service for free. Very useful
Very helpful with concise, simple explanations. Gideon’s tone of voice and demeanor is kind and calming. A great refresher for all of us!
Superb job Gideon. Especially with the customer service.
Very nice content..please increase the duration for sample test as it is very short now.
Thank you! You are well prepared. 🙂
Excellent!!!
Great course, definitelly would recommend to anyone who’s about to undergo a job search!!
Thanks for this great learning guide!
Was very helpful!!
Very helpful, especially the part in Lesson 8 that stresses how critical it is to work quickly and prioritize as you take the test. I’m very glad I found this course and took it. Thank you Gideon !
Great course for being free. Gideon has put a lot of time into it and it flows well and gives good content for being free!
Great course!
Great course! I gained 42 points out of 50. I benefit a lot from this course. Thank you!
I gained 42 points out of 50 in the real test. This course is really helpful. Thank you.
Nice tips and practice questions. But really tough to answer questions in just 9 minutes!!!
Excellent review course. Certainly prepared me better than going into the test without!
Only had a few hours to go through the course and still I learned some very useful shortcuts and strategies in even that short amount of time.
This is Post Real Test Review: The contents match the exam. The fact mock tests are a bit harder than real test has granted me extra seconds on real test.
Please pay attention to ALL details in this preparation material. There is no single note/advice that can be undermined. Content of 12minprep has been prepared with sincere efforts towards your success if you follow!
Very helpful, good breakdown at the right level for learning.
Thanks, it was of great help.
Amazing course
I found this course to be very helpful.
Great thorough and practical course!
Excellent course. The test is a bit difficult to complete, but it is obvious that this platform is the best I’ve seen.
Excellent course, I went from bombing my test to Acing it over a weekend!
I wish I’d found this site earlier. My memo from the company said no prep was necessary. I decided to look around on the internet a bit for practice courses. I wasted so much time with other free prep that just wasn’t any good. I wish I’d found this site earlier as my test is in a few hours. This site is excellent. Thanks
EXCELLENT !! .
BEST FREE COURSE I HAVE COME ACROSS FROM SO MANY ON THE WEB .
ANYONE SERIOUS ON CCAT MUST : GO FOR THE PAID COURSE . I BOUGHT IT TOO !
ITS THE BEST . THE COPIED COURSES ON OTHER SITES ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE CONTENT THAT THIS ONE PROVIDES .
very useful for last minute
Very well delivered lectures. Very expository too!
Thank you Gideon.
Highly Recommended
excellent teaching and practices
Very useful and helpful guidance.
Thank you Gideon!
Thank you , was very helpful.
Thnak you, it was perfect!
Loved it. Just reviewed the concepts after a busy day. Will apprear in an exam tomorrow morning. Thanks a lot.
Awesome. Thank you so much for the free practice and overview of these tests. Will be signing up for the paid course.
ver y interesting and useful I’d recomendó o everyone who wants to prepare a next job’s interview.thanks a lot!
Great resource, very helpful. Appreciate the free content and option to purchase additional material for a very reasonable price. Well done.
P.S. I subsequently purchased the CCAT Cram Prep Course. I could not have prepared effectively without these free and for-purchase resources. Highly recommended.
Very good introductory course. It is very didactic and helps you understand what you will face with the different types of tests.
Thanks a lot! That was very nice. I’m sure without practice, just rushing in, most of us would spoil the real test and not because we’re not intelligent or smart enough. Each type of examination apart from obtaining the necessary skill requires familiarity with task types. Than you for such a helpfull tool to get to know what we should be prepared for!
Excellent material
Great resource! Hope to share my success story soon.
Very insightful on where to focus my time for prep. And thanks for all the great resources.
A very well prepared course. Thank you Gideon, well done
Excellent course. Thank you.
Very helpful..
Gideon has provided a free course including practice tests and supplemental study materials here free of charge. I failed my practice test with a dismal 20% but think I got kicked out as well because I wasn’t able to go back and review any answers. I have a prospective employer who has requested I take the CCAT. I will continue to use Gideon’s resources to prepare. Thank you, Gideon.
Awesome course and resources!
Good ice breaker for the CCAT preparation!
Really liked the resources provided at the end of each section. This was very helpful. Thank you !
Great free resource if you have to do the RCAT. A must do.
Excellent Course

Awesome!!!
A great way to review example content. Can’t get better than free!
great investment of time: Solid content, clear and easy to follow, excellent resources for further study. Only nit it that the sound level was a bit soft, even when internal speakers are turned up to the max. It could be a local problem, but I haven’t observed that with other content. Thanks for making this available! Fantastic site.

Very useful, has helped a lot. Thanks !
Great, thanks!
good one, thank you!
Definitely worth to do it. Now I know I still have to practice a lot even after finishing this course.
Very helpful thanks a lot :))
great guide for the test
Thanks a lot!!!
Great practice and explanations.
Gave some great insight on how to answer questions. I liked the practice portions. i wasn’t really interested in the mechanics of scoring etc in the first few lessons. Nice resource for being free.
Extremely helpful – would be great to get a copy of the practice exam to keep and study from.
Thank you for your generosity!
Nice tool to practice and learn.
5 STARS !
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.
Thank you.
Good videos supporting the message and great extra references.
Would be nice, if there were a timer for each question being asked in the tests.
VEry helpful, and I really appreciate that is free, and give us the chance to take the quiz at the end. Thanks a lot!
A great way to understand some basic strategies for approaching the different types of questions.
Great practice for the CCAT. I improved substantially by reviewing the information and knowing what are my weaknesses. Thank you for your help! Best part is I didn’t have much time and the course was Free!
Nice course, it helps a lot to understand what we are talking about. it’s very similiar to IQ test that i’ve been doing 20 years ago.
Amazing resource and very clear tips and instructions. Much appreciated
Great course! Thank you
Thank you so much for such a helpful course and for sharing so kindly your time, effort and expertise with the community. Wishing you a very prosperous entrepreneurial experience!
Amazing, thank you! Wonderful course. Thank you, Gideon.
Fantastic, gave me a great initial assessment that helped me figure out where to focus my study.
Eye opening – definitely doing the paid course next.
Excellent coverage of all areas of testing! Gave me the confidence to better prepare, and learned areas I need to focus on.
extremely helpful, thank you.
Excellent, thank you!
Need more practice sets
Super helpful! Thanks
Helped me understand my improvement areas. Thanks alot.
Very helpful intro, thank you!
Great course. Thanks a lot
AM-A-ZING !!! … thank you !!!!
Incredibly relevant and approachable
Very helpful, thank you!
Excellent
Excellent course with some important pointers for the tests. Thanks a ton!
Great course, it was very helpful ¡¡
Very insightful. I learned a lot and I’m glad I came across the website. Thank you Gideon!
Great intro course, thank you
Thanks for putting this together, helpful for school leavers navigating the job search process.
Thanks for the course, it is very useful 🙂
Great intro course. Carry on the good work.
Great course and fantastic materials- Thank You
Very insightful and practical!!! Thanks!!!
Appreciate for making this course free. Really helpful for preparation and taking the exam.
Thank you!
Very well organized and extremely helpful!
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.
Superb intro course loaded with tons of great excercise material.
Thanks Gideon!
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.
Great course
I feel confident enough to now take my test
Really helped me to understand what I need to focus on.
Great course
Very helpful, thank you for making it so simple to understand.
Awesome course. I am sure it will help a lot of people. It has surely helped me to a great extent. All the best!
Was very helpful!
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.
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
Thank you for the free course, VERY useful and really well explained.
Very helpful entry level course
Good entry course!
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
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 usefull
very helpful for practice situation. seriously the time frame is very difficult to CORRECTLY answer 25 of 30 questions.
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.
Awesome! Great prep. Only had 24 hours to prepare – and had never taken this type of assessment. Prepared me for what to expect!
Great resource and insight to help me prepare for the test.
Great strategies for going about solving the different types of problems, thank you!
Thanks a lot. Very helpful course
Thanks alot..very useful
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.
Very helpful course thank you
Could’ve gone deeper but as it is a free course it is a great resource
Thank you so much. The course was quite simple and helpful indeed.
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!
Thanks for this valuable and free of cost course. This was very helpful !!
Thank you so much for all the tips and explanations. very useful and informative.
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.
Very helpful!!
Great resources , clear and helpful.
Concise and very useful.
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.
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!
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.
thanks, excellent guidelines and tips in this course!
This is awesome. Good for someone like me.
I greatly appreciate
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.
Nice overview that provides insight on weak areas
Excellent short review of what to expect, along with feedback on the areas where you need to focus to improve results. Thank you.
very useful and happy to see it was free!
practice session is encouraging
It’s helpful!
love it.thanks
2 thumbs up!
Good starting point to start the practice
very relevant, great resources!
Excellent material, well done.
Good little program with some good free tests
Very useful and informative!
Great prep information.
Excellent and simply.
Great course!
Short and clear. Thanks.
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
Thank you for making this course free. It really helped me to understand where do I stand for my test.
Good starter course!
Very well presented.
True Good Job done here
Fantastically done. So much time & effort went into this, with so much useful info being given away for free. Thanks very much!
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.
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 —
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.
Very thorough and useful. Thank you!
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.
excellent
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!
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.
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! provides all necessary info and helps prepare better.
Very helpful and well done
5 Star
Extremely helpful, well organized and with very important content and structure. Well done and thanks
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!
Very helpful and informative
Excellent preparation
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.
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.
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 )))
Absolutely helpful. Some tips with logics are priceless. Thank you.
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!
Great introductory course to understand the format of the test and offer strategies for solution!
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.
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.
Great for being free.
Excellent resource!
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.
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!
Gideon,
Great prep work for anyone looking or being tasked with a cognitive test.
good practice!
Only have a day to prepare…thank you for the content and insight!
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!
Very good!!!!!! A lot of extra material to study
Good tutorials and 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 free test
so so helpful! thank you 🙂
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!
Great course and well guided through out………thumb up ….fully recommended …bravo
Very well prepared. Great examples, useful links, totally helpful!
Thank you for the information and tutorial course, I learned a lot from the lessons!
thanks for the resource! wish I could take the practice tests more than once.
Very Helpful
5.0 5 Star
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
Very much worth the time. Highly recommended. Thank you!
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!
I would definite rate this a 5!!!
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 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
good, would be nice to do the test an additional time
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 🙂
excellent!
Very helpful content!
most helpful preparation is
helpfull
Thanks a lot Gideon! God bless you!!!
Very good! Very helpful tips! Thanks for the work put into it.
Wonderful insight, learnt so much
Forgot to rate this fabulous course.
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.
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.
Very useful course. Strongly recommended.
Really valuable resource. Breaking down the mechanics behind the types of questions and the opportunity to practice.
Very useful!!!
Awesome
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything!
Worthwhile every minute spent. Thank you!
Truly helpful resource..should consider having everything for free and accepting donations
Very helpful, thank you!
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.
Super helpful
Truly an eye-opener
That was awesome! Thanks for that prep class!
Very helpful-lets me know what I really need to work on. Practice, practice, practice…..
Thanks for this course!
Seems legit!
Thanks Gideon
Great site, the content is useful. I got also personal tips.
Keep doing
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!
very helpful for those who haven’t had this kind of test for a long time.. thank you
Excellent course
Great!!
Excellent!!!!
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!
Thanks a lot. Really helps to understand – how to do and where to go for test preparation!
Appreciate too much!
I think this will help me a great deal.
Very useful and practical- I will be writing a Cognitive test tomorrow and found the course to be relevant and timely.
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.
This course is extremely helpful, it helped me pass the CCAT.
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.
Great job! Thanks so much for giving this free to everyone.
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.
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.
It was good!
