    How it works

    1. 1

      Read three instruction cards

      They are untimed, like the real test's instructions. Then press Start clock.

    2. 2

      Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes

      One question per screen, about 18 seconds each on average. Skip is always there: past a minute, guess and move on.

    3. 3

      Read your Split Board

      Your practice score, an estimated percentile, your three family scores and your Pace Trace, the moment the clock stops.

    Three question families

    Every run mixes all three. Our practice mix is 17 Verbal, 17 Math & Logic and 16 Spatial. These samples come from the free test.

    • Verbal

      Sentence completion, vocabulary and word comparison: how precisely you read a word's meaning.

      Sample from the free test

      Many employees were reluctant to switch to the new scheduling software.

      As used in this sentence, reluctant most nearly means:

    • Math & Logic

      Basic algebra, proportions and word problems, worked out without a calculator.

      Sample from the free test

      On a floor plan, 2 inches represent 10 feet. A hallway measures 7 inches on the plan. How long is the actual hallway?

    • Spatial

      Patterns, rotations and flips, and the odd one out, solved by eye.

      Sample from the free test

      Which box completes the grid in place of the question mark?

    Questions, answered

    The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test is a hiring test from Criteria Corp: 50 multiple-choice questions in 15 minutes, covering verbal, math and logic, and spatial reasoning. It can be taken on a phone, tablet or computer.

    Yes. FiftyInFifteen's free run is 50 questions in 15 minutes and starts without an account. You see your practice score, an estimated percentile and your Split Board straight away. A free account adds the full Pace Trace and 3 worked explanations.

    There is no pass mark: each employer sets its own bar. The average test taker gets 24 right. BloomTech asks for 23+ and Gauntlet AI asks for 40+ on their own pages.

    No. Criteria says calculators are not allowed and no question needs one. Our run has no calculator either, only a scratch pad.

    Yes. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so never leave a blank. Criteria's own advice is not to spend more than about a minute on any one question.
