MAT Exam Pattern

Timing: Single composite 32-minute timer for all four sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's own no-sectional-time-limit rule.

The official MAT (conducted by AIMA) has 150 questions for 150 marks in 120 minutes, 1 mark for each correct answer and 0.25 negative marking for each wrong answer, with no sectional time limit, across five equal 30-question sections: Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, and Economic and Business Environment. This mock covers the four skill-based sections in the same proportion, scaled down: 40 questions (10 per section), with the same single composite timer, no sectional lock, and the same +1/-0.25 marking scheme. Economic and Business Environment is not covered, since its official syllabus tests business and economics fact recall rather than reasoning applied to a stated scenario, the same content-risk boundary applied to CMAT's Innovation and Entrepreneurship section and CA Foundation's Business Economics paper.
