CCAT basic arithmetic questions
Math & LogicWork fast, accurate calculations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
How to solve these
Work fast, accurate calculations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. The fastest route is to learn one repeatable method and then drill it under the clock. Start a free set to build the pattern recognition that makes these quick.
Worked example
Answer shownAn original, CCAT-style item with the full reasoning. This is the kind of question you will drill.
2 + 4 = ?
Answer: E. Here is why:
- 2 + 4 = 6.
Frequently asked questions
What are CCAT basic arithmetic questions?
Work fast, accurate calculations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. They fall under the Math & Logic part of the CCAT, mixed in among the other types across the 50-question test.
How many basic arithmetic questions are on the CCAT?
The CCAT does not label or fix the count per type. Items are mixed, so you cannot predict how many basic arithmetic questions you will see. Training every type is the only reliable preparation.
How do I get faster at basic arithmetic questions?
Reps under the real clock. However you like to learn, speed only comes from repeated timed practice — and honest per-type numbers show you whether it is working. That feedback loop is the skill the CCAT actually rewards.
