Tap the card to reveal the answer
Answer
B4.8 hours
4.8 hours — the combined rate is 1/3 of the job per hour; subtracting the first worker's rate of 1/8 leaves 5/24 per hour for the second worker, or 24/5 = 4.8 hours.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the CCAT?

The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test is a 50-question, 15-minute pre-employment assessment measuring math, verbal, and spatial reasoning under time pressure. Employers administer it through Criteria Corp during hiring.

What's a good CCAT score?

Most employers look for a score in the top half for the role, but the exact cutoff varies by employer and position — some technical or analytical roles set a higher bar.

Can I retake the CCAT?

That depends on the employer administering it — some allow a retake after a waiting period, others don't. Check with the company you're applying to.

Is Cambo affiliated with Criteria Corp?

No. Cambo is an independent study tool and isn't produced, endorsed, or affiliated with Criteria Corp or the CCAT.

What kinds of questions are on the CCAT?

A mix of math word problems, verbal reasoning and vocabulary, and spatial or pattern recognition questions — all designed to be answerable quickly once you know the underlying approach.

How should I prepare for the time pressure?

Practice enough questions that the common patterns become automatic, and don't get stuck — if a question is taking too long, take your best guess and move on so you don't lose time you need for easier questions later in the set.
