Realistic Practice Questions to Help Your Child Prepare for the CCAT and Increase Their Chances of Scoring High
Help your child prepare for the 2026 CCAT Grade 6 Test (Level 12) with clear practice built for this grade level.
This page includes a free practice test with a printable PDF, an overview of what students will see on the assessment, and an in-depth practice option.
The Grade 6 CCAT measures reasoning skills in Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal areas. Many schools use CCAT results as part of gifted program screening, so students benefit from learning the question styles before test day.
Here’s what you’ll find below:
The following sample questions are also available in a printable PDF for offline practice.
In each row and/or column, the pictures change in the same way or follow the same rule.
Choose the answer that goes in the empty box in the matrix following the same rule.
The correct answer is 1.
Across the row, the shapes remain the same.
In all the rows and columns, the large form is a pentagon, the medium form is a circle, and the small form is an arrow.
Additionally, across the rows, each large, medium, and small shape is presented in three colors. Each shape does not appear in the same color twice.
Therefore, in the bottom row, the answer choice will contain a white pentagon, a gray circle, and a white arrow.
We can eliminate answer choices two and three because they have an image with the wrong colors.
We are left with answer choices 1, 4, and 5. We can further see that the small shapes (arrows) rotate 45 degrees counterclockwise and do not change position.
We can also eliminate answer choices 4 and 5, and are left with answer 1.
In Figure Classification questions, three pictures share a connection or a characteristic. Choose the answer that shares the same connection/characteristic from the answer choices.
The correct answer is 2.
In this question, you can see that:
– All figures consist of two shapes: a gray circle and a shape with straight lines and sharp corners.
– In all figures, at least some of the corners of the shape with the straight lines intersect with the circle’s outer line.
In answer choice 2 there is a black circle and a shape that has straight lines and sharp corners, and some of the corners intersect with the circle’s outer line.
Answer choice 3 can immediately be eliminated as its circle is white, and each of the circles above is gray.
You can also eliminate answer choice 5 because it has a curved lined shape and does not intersect with the circle’s outer line at all.
Looking carefully, answers 1 and 4 can be eliminated since the corners of the shape with straight lines never intersect with the circle’s outer line – they only intersect in the middle of the straight lines.
You are then only left with answer 2, which is the correct answer, as there is a gray circle, and the straight-lined shape intersects with it at some of its corners.
This question type shows a paper folded several times and then punched with holes. The answer choices contain unfolded papers with punched-in holes. You need to determine which of the answer choices is the final product of the unfolded punched-in paper.
The correct answer is 2.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Every question in our practice packages is carefully developed to help your child feel ready and confident on test day.
1. Built from Official Test Materials – We begin by studying official CCAT sample questions and available test materials to understand exactly how each question type works.
2. Designed to Match the Real Test – Every question is created to reflect the same format, style, and level of challenge students can expect on the actual assessment.
3. Written by Test Preparation Experts – Our team develops original questions that follow the same thinking skills measured by the test, with clear explanations that help children understand their mistakes and improve.
4. Independently Reviewed – Each question is checked by a second education or assessment specialist to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency before it's published.
5. Updated Over Time – We regularly improve our materials using feedback from families and students, making the practice experience even better with each update.
By the time your child finishes practicing, they'll know what to expect and feel much more prepared for test day.
This question type shows two pairs of numbers with a certain mathematical connection and another number that shares that connection with one of the answer choices. Find the missing number for the third pair.
[39 → 7] [51 → 11] [93 → ?]
The answer is 25.
Look for the pattern in the first series of numbers. We get from 39 to 7 by dividing by 3 and then subtracting 6 (the pattern is ÷3 – 6). Indeed, 39 ÷ 3 = 3 – 6 = 7.
Likewise, we get from 51 to 20 by using the same pattern (÷3 – 6). Indeed, 51 ÷ 3 = 17 – 6 = 11.
The next series of numbers should follow the same pattern, meaning that the rule between 93 and ? should be (÷3 – 6): 93 ÷ 3 – 6 = 25, meaning that the correct answer will be 25.
? = 25.
This question shows a series of numbers that have a rule. Use the rule to determine which number will come next in the series.
6 13 27 55 111 ?
Correct Answer: 223
In the series, the next number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding 1 to the answer.
The sequence is 6*2 + 1=13, 13*2 + 1 = 27, 27*2+1=55, 55*2+1 =111 and 111*2+1 = 223.
In this question type, you are given a set of equations. Solve the equations to determine the number that goes in place of the question mark.
(⍰ × 4) – 10 = 6 × ◊
◊ = ◯ – 8
◯ = 36 ÷ 4
Correct Answer: 4
◯ = 36÷4 = 9
◊ = 9 -8 (using ◯ = 9)
◊ = 1
(⍰ × 4) – 10 = 6 × 1 (using ◊ =1)
(⍰ × 4) – 10 = 6 (Multiplying 6 by 1)
⍰ × 4 = 16 (Adding 10 on both sides)
⍰ = 4 (Dividing by 4)
If your child finds some of the CCAT question types challenging, don’t worry. Many kids experience the same at this stage, when they’re just starting.
Encourage your child with small daily practices – they’ll build confidence as they improve.
Every bit of practice counts, and with time, your child will build stronger skills.
Looking for ways to support and improve your child’s abilities? Get our practice package with hundreds of CCAT practice questions designed to sharpen their skills and improve their test performance.
This question type provides a pair of words that go together in a certain way and a third word. Choose a word from the answer choices that goes together with the third word in the same way.
keystone : arch :: thesis : ?
Correct Answer: Essay
A keystone is the central stone that supports and holds an arch together. In the same way, a thesis is the central idea that supports and holds an essay together.
The other options don’t represent the whole structure that the thesis supports.
Choose the words from the answer choices that best complete the sentence.
Because the committee wanted to avoid favoritism, the selection process was made ________, and the judges remained ________.
Correct Answer: impartial … anonymous
To avoid favoritism, the process must be impartial (fair and unbiased), and keeping judges anonymous helps prevent pressure or influence.
This question type shows three words that are alike in some way. Decide how they are alike, and choose the word that belongs in the same group as the first three words.
simile | metaphor | personification
Correct Answer: hyperbole
Simile, metaphor, and personification are all figurative language devices used to create imagery or emphasis in writing.
Hyperbole is also a figurative device (deliberate exaggeration), so it belongs with the group.
The others, chronology, bibliography, footnote, and index, are organizational or reference features, not figures of speech.
