FAQ

How much time does it take to complete a critical thinking skills test?

Most of our tests of critical thinking skills are designed to be completed in 45 to 50 minutes. This is the amount of time a test taker can be expected to work well at responding to the test items before cognitive fatigue begins. The exception is the CCT-G835 which is more demanding (60 minutes).  

When testing online, the system is set to notify the test taker of how much time is remaining in the testing session. Non timed options are available for test takers with disabilities.
