Within 48 hours post successful test, the test taker will also receive an email alert indicating that the official scorecard is available for download from the candidate dashboard. The official scorecard is designed based on scaled scores

• The questions are unique to each student tailored to his/her capability. Questions in the computer-based test are selected for each aspirant based on their answers for a previously asked question from a pool of questions. 

• Consequently, a high-scoring examinee generally will receive a more difficult sample of questions in comparison to a low-scoring examinee. 

• Finally, the score for NMAT by GMAC for each candidate is calculated by procuring the candidate’s final ability analysis on the basis probabilistic model approach of modern test theory and conformed to a scaled score ranging from 0 to 120.

What Is NMAT Percentile Score?

Percentile scores in NMAT are like scale meters i.e. it tells a candidate’s performance in comparison to the total number of candidates who have appeared for NMAT. It provides essential information like passed candidates, number of appeared candidates, possible cut off the exam, and so on. For example: if a candidate secures 80th rank, then it means that the candidate has scored 80% better than other test takers.

What is NMAT Scaled Score?

Raw test scores are equated and placed on a common scale in order to rule out any difficulty in overall calculation of NMAT score. This process by GMAC ensures that scores are comparable across test forms and are not impacted by candidates opting for different test forms. It ensures that every candidate goes through a just scaling process despite a different question pool.
