# What is the CCAT assessment?

After submitting your application, you'll be asked to complete a short cognitive assessment through OnDemand Assessment. It takes about 15 minutes, requires no studying or technical knowledge, and helps us understand how you learn and problem-solve. You have unlimited attempts.
If your link isn't working or you need it resent, contact [admissions@flatironschool.com](mailto:admissions@flatironschool.com). Tips for passing the assessment are available on our blog at [https://flatironschool.com/blog/how-to-pass-flatiron-schools-new-admissions-test/](https://flatironschool.com/blog/how-to-pass-flatiron-schools-new-admissions-test/).
