The Ultimate Guide to Acing the Vista CCAT Test

Here you’ll find free Vista CCAT test questions along with information on exam format, score, and Vista Equity Partners interview process.


What is the Vista CCAT 

The Vista CCAT assesses your cognitive aptitude for work and evaluates your ability to process new information, think critically, and solve problems. You will need to answer 50 numerical, verbal, and abstract/logical reasoning questions in only 15 minutes - 18 seconds per question.

The real challenge that you will face in the CCAT Vista is not necessarily the difficulty of the questions (although many of them are very challenging), but the tight time limit. In order to increase your chances of answering as many questions correctly as you can, learning good time management through repeated and accurate practice is the way to go

Another challenging part of the Vista Equity Partners aptitude test is the personality test, which aims to measure your workplace behavior and compatibility with the organization. A common misconception is that personality tests require no preparation. You must remember however that there are right and wrong answers - and accurate practice can help you avoid the pitfalls that this test presents. 

Challenge yourself with some free Vista CCAT practice test questions, to see if you have what it takes to ace the CCAT Vista exam.

Vista CCAT Practice Test Question 1

⏲️

Shelley has 7 dresses, 8 pairs of shoes, and 7 necklaces. If she wears one combination of clothes per day.

How many days can she go without wearing the same outfit?


Click the correct answer:

22
56
114
228
392
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is (E) - 392

This is a classic combinations question. In order to solve the problem, you must figure the correct number of choices of clothing Shelley has in each category.
According to the question, there are 3 categories:
Dresses = a choice between 7 options.
Shoes = a choice between 8 options.
Necklaces = a choice between 7 options.

The number of days Shelley can go without wearing the same outfit equals to the overall number of combinations of clothing, which equals the multiplication of the number of options within each category: 7 * 7 * 8 = 392


Vista CCAT Practice Test Question 2

⏲️

adee … fijj … knoo … pstt ?

What would be the next group of letters in the following series?


Click the correct answer:

uvyy
yxuu
uvww
vwzz
uxyy
Correct Answer
Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is (E) – uxyy

First, one can notice that in each of the four-letter groups, the third letter repeats itself, so the third and fourth letters are identical. All four-letter groups present a pattern according to which two consecutive letters are missing between the first and third letter in the group. Additionally, the first letter of the following group is consecutive to the last letter of the previous group:
abcdee … fghijj … klmnoo … pqrstt
The letters strike through in red are the ones missing in each group, and the bold letters show the consecutive letters between the following groups.
Therefore, the next group of letters will be uvwxyy – uxyy.

Vista Equity Partners CCAT Scores Explained

There are two ways to count your Vista CCAT score. You can either receive a so-called raw score, which counts only your correct answers, or you can be given a percentile score, measured relative to scores received by other job candidates. 

If on the percentile counting you receive 79%, this doesn't mean that you answered 79% of questions correctly - it means that you did better on the examination than 79% of the candidates competing for a similar position. Because your score is calculated relative to other applicants, it is crucial to outdo them on the examination.

Study with our exclusive Vista CCAT PrepPack™ and leave your competitors behind. The more you practice with CCAT practice tests, the more you will increase your speed and accuracy.

 

Insider Information from One of Our Customers

"It is a well-structured company. In light of this, it is important that you organize your thoughts on the subject matter, and provide concise answers which demonstrate why would you be beneficial to the company.
