Gauntlet AI CCAT Requirements

Insider Tip

Gauntlet requires a 40+ CCAT and 3+ years of professional software engineering experience. The 10-week program (3 weeks remote, 7 weeks on-site in Austin) expects ~100 hours/week. Graduates can earn $200K+ offers. They use CCAT telemetry to assess how you handle math-heavy sections, correlating it with ability to grasp frontier model architectures. Two-stage CCAT process: The application CCAT is standard and unproctored — same format as the test you practice on TestCCAT. Once accepted, during the first 3 weeks of the program, participants must complete a proctored CCAT (PCCAT). Unlike the unproctored application exam, the PCCAT is a live-supervised session that typically requires a webcam pointed at your face and desk (confirming no calculator, notes, or second screen), plus screen sharing for the full duration. Your proctored score must be consistent with your application score or you will be flagged. Prepare by practicing in a clean, distraction-free environment — simulate the conditions, not just the questions.
