Choose the word or words that best complete the sentence. Although the new policy was meant to simplify the process, it only made the paperwork more ______.

Frequently asked questions
What are CCAT sentence completion questions?
Choose the word that best fits the logic and tone of a sentence with a gap. They fall under the Verbal part of the CCAT, mixed in among the other types across the 50-question test.
How many sentence completion 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 sentence completion questions you will see. Training every type is the only reliable preparation.

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.
