The Wrike CCAT Test

Q: Does Wrike use the CCAT?

Yes. Wrike — the project management software provider — uses the CCAT (Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test, 50 questions in 15 minutes) as an early hiring screen, based on candidate reports.

Q: What score do I need on the Wrike CCAT?

Wrike does not publish a cutoff. Candidate reports for Vista Equity portfolio companies suggest a bar around the 70th percentile — roughly the low 30s out of 50 — with product and strategy roles trending toward the 80th. Check your invitation for role-specific requirements.

Wrike uses the CCAT — 50 questions in 15 minutes — as an early hiring screen. Candidate reports place the bar around the 70th percentile for many roles. The pacing is the test: ~18 seconds per question, guessing is free, and there is no going back.

Why Wrike uses the CCAT

Wrike is a leading project-management platform, taken private by Vista Equity Partners in 2018 and sold to Citrix in 2021 as part of themerge that formed Cloud Software Group. Candidate reports describe the CCAT as the early screen for several role families — and the standardized-screening playbook tends to persist through ownership changes.

What the test looks like

50 questions, 15 minutes — about 18 seconds per question, and almost nobody finishes all 50
Verbal: synonyms, sentence logic, true/false statement analysis
Numerical: word problems, number series, ratios, averages — no calculator
Spatial: figure series, matrices, pattern recognition under rotation
Guessing is free (wrong scores the same as blank) and there is no going back once you advance

Roles that report the Wrike CCAT

Sales and account roles
Customer success and support
Product and analyst positions

How to prepare

Train at full pace. Run complete 50-question sets against a real 15-minute clock — calibration is the entire game.
Drill mental math. Averages (use the deltas-to-target trick), ratios, and number series without a calculator.
Learn the spatial pattern families. Figure series rotate, add, and step by increasing amounts — recognizing the family is most of the answer.
Set a skip rule. Not committed in ~20 seconds? Guess and move. Stuck time is the score killer.
Never leave a blank. Wrong answers score the same as unanswered ones.

Practice with a free 5-question sample here on TestPrep.me, or run full timed simulations that mirror the 50-question format.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wrike use the CCAT?

Yes — based on candidate reports, Wrike uses Criteria's CCAT as an early screen. Formats can change, so confirm the details from your own invitation.

Does Wrike still use the CCAT under Citrix?

Candidate reports from the Vista era and after describe the screen, but ownership changes reshuffle hiring. If your invite names a cognitive aptitude assessment, expect the standard CCAT format and prepare accordingly.

What score do I need to pass?

Wrike doesn't publish a cutoff. Candidate reports for Vista Equity portfolio companies suggest a bar around the 70th percentile — roughly the low 30s out of 50 — with product and strategy roles trending toward the 80th.

Can I retake it?

Retakes are employer-controlled and typically 6–12 months out. Prepare before you start — a retake is not a real strategy.
