Its part of a wholistic review but I think above 45 is considered very good, 40 is good and 30-40 is meh.

ur too late. just had a second round. also scored 45+ on CCAT
Yea I didnt cheat or prepare though
You definitely don’t need to cheat to get a 45 on CCAT… it’s really not difficult at all and you have tons of time.
Is there a way to see your score
Dude, I was only trying to help. Second rounds are finishing and there's no way you'll get a first round with just mid-30s anyway. Vista heavily emphasizes CCAT. Nothing worse than anticipating something when it's never going to happen. Sorry man
Mid 30s isn't enough
Is there no way to get past a score like that by networking or something?
Probably not. They're looking for high 40s lol.
Networking or referrals don't work at Vista. The firm has a strict policy against it
I heard that candidates have to take the test again at their offices. Any of you experienced that?
Lol I would straight up walk out at that point wtf
They made me retake it during the super day with HR present
Got a 46 and then dinged in the third round due to my shit LAC.
any tips on getting a high score?
Stimulants during the "test" and practice to familiarize yourself with how the questions are structured.
