As one of the prerequisite of a private beauty hairstyling school states that they complete grade 12 as part of their application submission. Would the Canadian Adult Achievement Test be applicable to young adults who have not completed their Grade 12 but want to pursue a career in a skilled trade College? If not would you happen to know where I can be directed?
Hello – It depends on the college/university – we also have the Canadian GED
Hello, please how much will it cost to register for the the examination? I am an international student trying to get admission into a private institution in Ontario.
Hello – I think it is about $100.
What percentage do I need to pass the English section? That’s the only one I have to do.
Hi I bought your practice CAAT test a couple days ago and it had been super helpful in preparing. The only problem I’m having is that the CAAT test I have to take includes science and mechanical reasoning and I was wondering if you would have anything for those topics that I could buy
How soon can I take the test and then get results to apply for a school?
how many questions are on it with mechanical reasoning added on
Hello,
I want to enroll in a Health Care Assistant Program in Fort St. John British Columbia I have everything I need except Science 10 but the CAAT does not appear to have Science 10 or any sciences on the CAAT as this is the only section I need to pass with a 10.9 score. Is Science available?
Thank you,
Brandy M
Hi, Do you need to be a permanent resident (PR) to be qualified to write the exam? Can a Work permit holder write the exam?
