Hi Aspirant!

MAT exam has five sections:

  1. Mathematical Skills
  2. Intelligence & Critical Reasoning
  3. Data Analysis & Sufficiency
  4. Language Comprehension
  5. Indian and Global Environment (GK)

Each section has 40 questions and for every correct answer you get +1 mark and for every wrong answer 0.25 mark is duducted.

NOTE: GK section is not counted in the overall “Composite Score”. The composite score is the marks scored in the first four sections (GK is not a part of composite score). GK score is reported separately.

>> As you metioned that you attempted 75-80 questions, so I am assuming that this does not include questions from GK section. Thus I am assuming that you answered 75 Non-GK questions. Also, the score depends on accuracy rate as well (how many you attempted were right).

>> In first case, attempted: 75 questions, accuracy - 100%. So, the total marks will be 75 out of 160 (not including GK Part). A net score of 70 marks can take one to more than 95 percentile (overall), (as per the previous years marks vs percentile record).

>> In second case, let's assume you answered questions with 80% accuracy. It means that 60 were correct and remaining 15 were incorrect. Total marks = 60 + (15/4) = 63.75 marks, which will most probably make 85-90% overall (as per the records).

Note: It has been observed that a net score of more than 100 marks (out of 160 marks) will take one to more than 99.9 percentile.

>> So, let's wait for the actual result and do not consider the numbers above as the final result.

Thankyou!
