Crossover uses the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude test (CCAT) as an initial screening to measure its candidates' critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and cognitive ability. It includes 50 abstract, verbal, and numerical reasoning questions that you need to answer in 15 minutes.
Here's a breakdown of the Crossover CCAT test subjects:
Approximately a third of the CCAT questions. The main question types included in this section are basic math, word problems, number series, graphs & tables, and ratios.
approximately a third of the CCAT questions. This section includes analogies, synonym / antonyms, sentence completions, and vocabulary questions.
both represent around a third of the CCAT questions. The Abstract (Spatial Reasoning) part includes shape series, matrices, and odd-one-out. The Logical part includes syllogisms, seating arrangements, and error checking.

The Crossover CCAT practice pack has 17 verbal practice tests in addition to the 6 full-length simulations. Practicing using these exercises will improve your vocabulary, which is crucial since most of the CCAT verbal questions are based on advanced vocabulary words. Additionally, you'll learn techniques for answering questions fast and saving time on the test.
In a restaurant's pantry there are seven kinds of fruit - figs, guavas, honeydews, kiwis, mangos, nectarines and papayas. The restaurant's chef has to pick exactly four different kinds of fruit out of the seven to make a fruit salad. The selected fruits must meet the following conditions:
Papaya can be selected only if kiwi is selected.
Fig can be selected only if nectarine is selected.
Either mango or nectarine must be selected but not both.
Either papaya or honeydew must be selected but not both.
If the salad does not contain kiwi, then which one of the following fruits must be part of the salad?
Crossover's CCAT test practice has 31 Logical and abstract reasoning practice tests (in addition to the full-length simulations). You'll learn how to easily approach complex questions, identify patterns and solve them quickly using shortcut techniques.
A home appliance store has recently seen an increase in TV sales. Having noticed this, the store manager decides to raise the TV price by 25% in order to increase the store's profits. If the original price of a TV was 140$, how many could be bought post-raise for 4,200$?
The Crossover CCAT prep package has 27 numerical reasoning practice drills (in addition to the full CCAT simulations). The practice tests will help you brush up on your math skills and learn effective solving methods that are both simple and fast.

Go through your CCAT practice tests while emulating the real test as closely as you can. For instance, don't use a calculator, since using a calculator or any other external device during the CCAT test is forbidden. However, some scratch paper and a pen or a pencil are allowed.
Remember, on the actual CCAT, you are not permitted to go back to previous questions.
The questions on the CCAT test increase in difficulty throughout the test. The first questions should not take long to solve.
It sounds obvious, but a lot of test-takers rush through the instructions and find themselves stuck. Make sure that you know what you're being asked on every question before answering it.
One of the key benefits of practicing accurate questions before the test is the ability to recognize which question type you struggle with. That'll help you build a solid strategy for the test and reduce anxiety throughout the actual test.

Your Crossover Cognitive Aptitude Test results will be compared to the raw score suggested for the position. If your score falls into the range of the suggested scores for the role you are hoping to be considered for, you will be deemed competent for the position.
Different roles require different passing scores. Candidates who don’t make the cut can retake the Crossover cognitive assessment after six months.
Note: To get a better understanding of the Crossover CCAT scores and see what are the average score ranges for your position, visit our CCAT Test Scores page.
These positions have a more complex application process and demand to compete in “hiring tournaments” or “hiring marathons,” which include several hours of back-to-back assessment testing. Let’s take a deeper look!
