I'm not gonna sugarcoat it — the CAAT kicked my butt twice before I finally passed last month. I went in the first time thinking my accounting background would carry me, and I scored a 58. Second attempt I studied harder but still hit a 61. Passing is 70, so I was getting closer but running out of confidence fast.
What changed for the third attempt was actually using a proper CAAT practice test instead of just re-reading my notes. I found one that mimicked the real format — timed sections, the same mix of numerical reasoning and verbal — and my weak spots became really obvious really fast. I also stopped ignoring the study guide sections on applied mathematics because I kept assuming I knew that stuff.
Anyone else here taken the Canadian Adult Achievement Test through Humber or another college? I'd love to compare notes on the reading comprehension section especially. That one is sneaky — it moves faster than you expect and the passages are pretty dense.
