CCAT scores by role

Suggested minimum CCAT raw scores by role, as reported from Criteria Corp guidance. The average CCAT score is 24 out of 50. Employers set their own cut-offs, so treat these as a guide rather than a pass mark.

Role	Reported score
Customer service	17 or more
Accounting	20 or more
Software development	20 or more
Financial services	20 or more
Analyst roles	22 or more
Senior and executive leadership	22 or more
Legal	24 or more

How CCAT percentiles work

Your percentile is the share of test-takers you outscored: the 80th percentile beats 80 percent of them. Employers mostly use the percentile because it means the same thing across roles.

Criteria anchors the scale at 24 for the 50th percentile. The rest of the chart interpolates between points reported in published prep summaries, so treat each value as accurate to a few points.

Why the IQ column is a range

There is no official CCAT to IQ conversion. Our estimate assumes CCAT takers are slightly above average and that the CCAT correlates moderately with IQ. It shows the most likely IQ at each score plus a range covering about four in five people.

High scores are pulled towards average for the same reason a single good exam result is: some of it is luck on the day.

What would you score on the CCAT?
