What is a good CCAT score?
The CCAT is scored as the raw number of questions you answer correctly out of 50. Published resources put the average applicant near 24/50. Pick a score below to see what it means, its approximate percentile, and how to move up.
CCAT scores from 15 to 45

A note on employer cutoffs
There is no single passing score. Employers set their own role-specific benchmarks, and the same score can clear one role and fall short for another. The reliable strategy is the same regardless: train every question type and build the pace the test actually rewards.
