*Important Clarification* In the logical sample question, 07:34, whenever it is stated that a person is standing _in front_ of someone, it means that he or she can stand anywhere in front of the other person unless it is stated they are standing _immediately_ in front of him or her. For example, it is stated that John is standing in front of Heather. This means he is standing in front of her in line, but not necessarily right before her. Moreover, in 07:42, you can see three sketches of the possibilities, and in one of them, Lumina is last. The rule states: "If John is not first in line, Lumina is standing somewhere in front of him." In the third sketch, you see that John is positioned first, meaning that Lumina is not standing in front of him, giving her the freedom to stand last in line. In the two other possibilities, John is second and Lumina is in front of him. Remember, the question asks which person "can" stand last, not which person "must" stand last.

ok, but if Heather is standing in the third position, and John and Lumina are both in front of her, John is not the first which makes Lumina be. How come Lumina is an option to be in the last?

It took 58 seconds to follow the train of thought of the last example, which is less than what's required for a person with an IQ of 100 (which is the average) to read, process, and solve this question. There are only 15 minutes to answer 50 questions, an average of only 18 seconds per question. I bet most of the CEOs of those companies that are using CCAT to hire people would get the answers less than 40% right.

Yes, there is truth in your words, the last question in the video can be one of the hardest questions you'll encounter on a CCAT test. But remember, the average score of the CCAT test is 24 out of 50. If you score 24 out of 50, you're exactly in the 50 percentile. That means that 50% of CCAT test takers get less than half of the questions correct. If you want to pass the CCAT and get to the next stage of recruitment, you want to score more than 30, and as close to 40 as you can. If you get 40 out of 50, you'll probably get to the next stage for any position. For more information - www.jobtestprep.com/criteria-ccat-sample-test

Just because you are tested on something does not mean you are marked a failure overall. Assessment test are used to show where you have weakness or strengths. You incorrectly take the entire test process to result in a pas or fail. This is not the case for employers. They will take into consideration that if you are weak in mathematical problems but are being looked at for a position that does not need such knowledge or ability, then they will not worry about you providing incorrect answers. You should also always be confident in your self worth after taking these assessments test, especially if the test process is discussed by hiring managers at some point. If there is any direct complaints about the testing or showing that you were overly concerned, it may show that you don’t take test well or not good under pressure. Sometimes reaction to the testing speaks more than getting incorrect answers on the test it self.

How Lumina is an option for last if she is in front of John which must be in front of Heather which she is stated to be in the THIRD position? Lumina, John, Heather, Fiona, Kilgore, Ian than Georgia. So my answer is for A since the word "immediately" tells a story : ) Ian is IMMEDIATELY behind Kilgore and IMMEDIATELY in front of Georgia because Fiona needs to be in front "somewhere" of Ian.

I agree with some of the comments about Lumina being ahead of John so the answer to the last question can’t be right. But, if this question hadn’t been wrong, wouldn’t the shortcut to answering it be that since there are 7 people in the list, there have to be 4 people behind Heather who we know is third. So the only answer that ‘lists all’ must be the one that has 4 people. We don’t even have to look at the names in the answer if we read the question properly

You get 18 seconds per question, that's not enough time to think of a solution for these difficult problems. Your going to have to solve the easy questions in 3-5 seconds if your banking on saving up the time to finish the more challenging questions. This test also leaves no room for error. If you accidentally spend too much time on a question your also screwed because it's easy to use up your banked time if it looks like you can solve the question easily but you actually can't.

The answer you give in the first question is wrong, the answer is 1.25 hours. If someone takes 2.5 hours to walk half the distance and then another 2.5 hours to walk the second half, they are not moving at 3x their original speed. This is common sense. They took 3.75 hours on the first half, and then 1.25 hours on the second half moving at 3x their original speed.

I'm not sure this is true. An IQ test is much more comprehensive and is very hard to study for and improve your results. However, In the CCAT you can 100% improve your results from test to test, and from the first practice simulation to the actual scheduled test. There are some similarities to an IQ test and the CCAT does assesses your cognitive skills, but it's not an IQ test per se.

I guess you can generally say that SOUND is a part of MUSIC, as there's no music without sound. However, the original analogy was STRINGS - GUITAR, and this connection is much more strong, as strings are a physical part of the guitar, not abstract as sound and music. Sometimes you can find two analogies that seem correct, and you need to ask yourself which analogy is more accurate. In this case, the connection between BARS and XYLOPHONE is much closer to STRINGS and GUITAR.
